Some of the photos we will be selling are from Seneca Ray Stoddard (1843-1917) who is best known for his photographs of the Adirondack Mountains , but he also was a cartographer, writer, poet, artist, traveler and lecturer. A sign painter by training, he turned to photography in his twenties. From his business base in Glens Falls he carried his cameras throughout the region, capturing the vistas and scenes of Adirondack life over a span of forty years. The thousands of photographs that he published document not only the Adirondack wilderness but also the human story of the region.
