Mary Bromfield and her dogs   Save
Joe Munroe Archive
Description: Mary Bromfield, wife of famed author Louis Bromfield, poses here with the Bromfield dogs on Malabar Farm, photographed by Joe Munroe, 1946. Louis Bromfield was an advocate of subsistence farming and encouraged awareness of the impact of farms and agriculture on the environment. Malabar Farm, located in Lucas, Ohio, served as a test site for environmentally-sound farming techniques, providing an example for others to follow. Joe Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine. Though raised in Detroit, agriculture became an important subject of Joe's photographs. He moved to California in 1955 and free-lanced, taking magazine assignments and selling his own work.
