"The Town of Palm Beach is an extraordinary place. More than a century ago it was the home of the world's largest resort, built by Standard Oil founding partner, Henry Flagler. However, one could literally walk out the front doors of that luxury resort back then and just a short distance away explore an exotic world of jungle trails, alligators, coconut groves, and some of the best fishing anywhere in teh world. During the 1920s Palm Beach experienced tremendous growth as it was transformed from a winter resort to a wealthy enclave of winter homes, predominately Mediterranean Revival in style. It was during this period that Palm Beach's main streets and most of its iconic buildings and clubs were established as lowlands and swampy areas were filled in, eliminating many of the exotic jungle-like areas Palm Beach was known for a quarter century earlier. Life in Palm Beach then was shaped by wealthy young socialites who enjoyed very active social lives dominated by the clubs and theaters. Following World War II Palm Beach slowly made the transition from a seasonal to a year-round community as restaurants and hotels began to stay open all year. Though a number of important historic structures were lost during these years as the entire country seemed to embrace moderism and reject anything that seemed old, most of Palm Beach's iconic buildings did survive. Flagler's winter home, Whitehall, was acquired by his granddaughter, Jean Flagler Matthews, In 1959 and opened to the public the following year as the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum. The country surrounding Palm Beach grew steadily in the years following the War. In fact, by the 1990s the metropolitan area had become one of the largest in Florida. Long gone are the days of swamps, alligators, and jungle-like trails that were once common in the area around Palm Beach -- replaced by huge gated communities, shopping malls, and wide thoroughfares. However, in spite of the massive changes throughout Palm Beach County over the last century, the Town of Palm Beach still retains much of its original charm." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Soft cover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition 14 inch oblong black-and-white photographic softcover wraps. Includes 1907 map of West Palm Beach and Palm Beach showing major points of interest and roads, produced two years after Hazard photographed the Island. Profusely illustrated with historic black-and-white photographs. From an exhibit at the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, March 10 - July 31, 1996. Unpaginated "Emerson W. Hazard (1854-1926) was a photographer of great innovation and invention. His career spanned several decades in New England where he worked as a photographer in Southington, Connecticut from 1885 until his death in 1926. Shortly after attending the PHiladelphia Centennial Exposition, where Americans of all types were dazzled by the American innovations in technology and culture, Hazard began a photographic apprenticeship with Frank Wheeler. In 1885 he opened his own photo studio. Always interested in the innovative, Hazard became known for his unusual photographs. He liked large views of the Connecticut terrain, and photographed the outdoors from the hilltops surrounding his town. He experimented with movement in photos, and high speed photography, which ws becoming well-known in the works of Muybridge at that time. He developed a method to shoot photos in quick succession to document a local yacht race. He also produced multiple exposure photos, and photographs of animals in nature - a dufficult task to accomplish. His photos often became the subject of articles in the local paper. The Southington Phoenix. Because the paper was not actually able to reproduce the photos in printed format at this time, it would advertise their availability at Hazard's photo studio. An interested reader could thus have a complete package of a dramatic event, with both story and photos. What brought Emerson Hazard to Palm Beach in 1905 is not known. He could have been documenting the season for a local paper, or for a client in Palm Beach. The Meriden Journal announced that Hazard was leaving for Florida on January 4, 1905, and returned on APril 15. The paper kept track of his photographic work in Florida, announcing on March 6, that Hazard had taken a large number of photos. Hazard had always had an interest in the outdoors. He was an avid bicyclist and hunter. His views of Palm Beach are far from being just images of Palm Beach society in the season. He also photograhed those in the wolderness of the area - settlers who lived in the jungle areas and ran tourist attractions - like Alligator Joe, or the unnamed orange juice stand owners, along one of the trails. One can't help but feel Hazard's sense of whimsy while looking at his view of the intrepid bicyclist confronted with the mass of mangroves. But perhaps, for the modern day viewer, Hazard's documentation of a lifestyle which has disappeared from Palm Beach is the most important thing he has to show us. His view of the commonplace enlightens us and allows us to see a life which is no longer common, nor even extant on Palm Beach Island. It is a view of both sides of the Gilded Age, and one we do not often get a chance to see." - from the Preliminary Page. Hazard, Emerson W. (photography) (illustrateur).…
