Seneca Ray Stoddard Archival Photographs
Seneca Ray Stoddard (1843-1917) is best known for his photographs of
the Adirondack region of New York State, 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. In his
time, Stoddard’s photographs served as advertisements for the region,
giving vacationers a chance both to preview and to savor their summer
experience. Today his photographs document not only the Adirondack
wilderness but also the human story of the region.
These limited edition reproduction prints, available only through
Burke Décor, have been selected from more than 3000 photographs in the
S.R. Stoddard Collection owned by the Chapman Historical Museum of
Glens Falls, NY. Each has been digitally scanned, retouched to remove
dirt and other marks, and carefully optimized to reproduce the tonal
quality of Stoddard's original albumen prints. They are printed on Moab
Entrada paper with archival inks to ensure your long-term enjoyment.
