Alfred S. Campbell (1840-1912), who immigrated to the United States from
England in the late 1860’s, founded the Alfred S. Campbell Art Company in 1871
in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The company went on to include reproductions,
photographs, and illustrations. In addition to being an entrepreneur,
illustrator, and photographer, Campbell also was an inventor and held numerous
patents, which included inventing a panoramic lens and patenting a method for
photography printing on platinum. |
