Please join us for the opening of our latest exhibit, Through a Soldier’s Lens: Jack Speed’s WWI Photography, curated by Heather Potter and Jana Meyer. Louisville native John "Jack" Speed was an officer in the 150th Field Artillery during World War I. His unit served on the Western Front where they saw action at Champagne-Marne, Aisne-Marne, St. Mihiel, and Meuse-Argonne. Speed was not only a soldier, but also an amateur photographer – his numerous photographs the product of technological improvements that made cameras more portable and accessible to the general public than ever before. This exhibit features Speed's images of war, exploring the experiences of one Kentuckian afield during global conflict. The opening will be held from 4:00-6:00 p.m. and will feature light refreshments and short remarks from the curators. Curators and Filson staff will be available to answer questions about the items on display and the history behind them. This event is free and open to the public.
