Hello,
Does anyone know of a good reference source (print or
online) for bios of American photographers, especially 19th and
early 20th century photographers? Or even better, photographers
who specialized in shooting theatrical subjects? I am doing authority
work in the Folger’s photo collection and am finding that we don’t
have a good body of print resources pertaining to these areas, so if anyone can
recommend something we could buy, it would be much appreciated. I am
aware of the Craig’s Daguerreian Registry website and the Broadway
Photographs site compiled by David S. Shields.
Thanks,
Bettina
