[5-6] *"Photographer"; "Photographed by...". Listed in Boston 56-62, Cambridge 65.
Outstanding early scenic photographer who was
extraordinarily prolific in a very short time.
B. ~early 20s; was making cut-price dags in
Boston at 228 Washington St. in 47; gradually
shifted to photos, specialized in SI portraits
especially of theatrical people. Had
partnerships with Lay in 57, Heard in 60-61,
Edward P. Loring 63-65. Became interested in
stereos ~62; major production began in 63. Pub.
only a handful of his very first stereos; vast
majority by others. First pub. was Frank Rowell
from 63-65, then Harvey Friend until end of
career. Health declined in 60s; sold equipment
& views in 68, said to have D. 70. The American
Stereoscopic Co. bought his negs. to add to
their fine reprint series; they re-issued about
« of his work, always with attribution. He
almost invariably numbered views sequentially
with no repeats & no skips. Output limited to
MA, NH, VT, ME, NY. He grouped the ~750 views
into categories such as "Mount Desert Scenery",
"Cape Ann Scenery", "White Mountain Scenery",
"Views of Boston & Vicinity", "Green Mountain
Scenery", "Freers Glen,", "Winter Views of
Niagara", "Miscellaneous", etc. Had early success in fast exposures, many views of
breaking waves. 95%+ of work was scenic, very
few genre, statues, etc. Major collection, T.K.
Treadwell.
