He was born on November 17, 1861 – and died on July 19, 1941. He was an American minister, photographer, artist, and antiquarian, who is most famous for his landscape photos of New England. He also was an accomplished author, lecturer, furniture maker, antiques expert and collector. His atmospheric photographs helped spur the Colonial Revival style. Nutting began his career as a Congregational minister in several towns including Minneapolis, Seattle, and Providence[3] and Fryeburg, Maine,[2] but he was forced to retire at age 43 because of poor health.[2] He suffered from neurasthenia, and turned to bicycling as a means of relaxation and improving his health. It was on these bicycle rides in the countryside that Nutting started taking photographs.[2] In 1904 he opened the Wallace Nutting Art Prints Studio on East 23rd Street in New York. After a year he moved his business to a farm in Southbury, Connecticut. He called this place "Nuttinghame". In 1912 he moved the photography studio to Framingham, Massachusetts, in a home he called "Nuttingholme".[2] That year he published a catalog of prints that was 97 pages and included about 900 images.[3] By 1915, Nutting claimed to be earning $1,000 per day. Nutting authored several books about the scenic beauties of New England, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. In the peak of his business he employed about two-hundred colorists. By his own account, Wallace Nutting sold ten million pictures. Wallace Nutting's colorists painted the photographs which he took. These colorists would sometimes sign Wallace Nutting's name on the photos which is why the signatures vary. The name and signature on the bottom is Wallace Nutting- not a colorist- they only signed the prints.; This an Unusual circa 1905-10 Wallace Nutting hand-colored photo A Breezy Call.
