Beginning in 1906, A.J. Kingsbury sought to earn his living as a photographer. He frequently traveled the roads in the counties surrounding his hometown of Antigo, Wisconsin, taking pictures he could sell and resell to residents and the small number of tourists from the city seeking the peace and quiet of the countryside. He soon realized these photo images could be turned into picture postcards and began printing these in his photographer's studio in Antigo. Sadly, most of his work was lost in a fire that burned the studio and everything in it to the ground. This book, Langlade County, represents a small portion of the 600 remaining images and negatives captured by Mr. Kingsbury, preserved in the Langlade County Historical Society.
