Provenance: Hill House
Notes & Literature: Alfred S. Campbell (English-American, 1840-1912) who was an English art photographer and commercial inventor. In 1867, Campbell was invited to come to the United States and form a partnership with Napoleon Sarony, under the Sarony name.
Sarony had a great desire to gain access to Campbell’s patented photographic process, but within four short years, their business relationship dissolved
. Campbell soon decided to move to New Jersey, where he built his state-of-the-art studio which had an onsite photo imaging production facility in Elizabeth, NJ initially calling it ‘Campbell Studios’.
Aside from his art studio and patented photographic process for platinum photo-printing, Campbell also invented a panorama lens and held numerous patents for cameras and various paper products.
