'Turnback Tuesday' features historic photo of Derby Public Library

Turnback Tuesday offers this charming photo of the Derby Public Library. 
The photo was taken by the famous Derby/Ansonia photographer, Clara Barton Tomlinson Drew. It shows the back entrance of the Library from Elizabeth Street. 
A pioneer among female photographers, Drew had a studio in her home on New Street, Ansonia (which was Derby until 1889). 
This picture was taken and gifted to the Derby Public Library in 1920.


Thanks as always to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
