Blizzard of 1888, Keene NH

This is a set of large (4" by 7 1/4") sepia photographs by Keene photographer J.A. French, taken in the days following the great "Blizzard of 1888", which occurred from March 11-14. The snowfall estimate was over 40 inches, but "drifts of hard packed snow from 12-15 feet deep were piled across the roads, and half way to the top of the second story windows." These views are from a set of 54 photos.
