Old Nags Head

Bromoil Print from 1974 b/w negative. Brushed inked with multicolors of lithographic inks. Before the multi-million dollar stucco mansions lined the beaches with their private swimming pools and decorator interiors, charming old beach houses were to be seen and enjoyed. Gentle sea breezes, not air conditioning, made them comfortable for naps and rocking on the front porches. Progress and escalating land values have eradicated those old cottages of yesteryear. Ah! Progress.
