Figure 1.-- These New York City boys are licking blocks of ice on a hot day on the sidewalk in front of a grocery store on July 6, 1912. Notice the boys wearing both peaked and flat caps. George Bain probably took this photograph. Source: George Grantham Bain Collection. Library of Congress LC276.

HBC has noted the work of these photographers whose work includes many wonderful images of children over the ages, providing an enormous amount of information about contemprary fashions as well as other interesting aspects of childhood. Most of these noted photographers had careers which primarily focused on their own countries and thus are a great source of information on individual countries or in some cases specific regions within the country. Listing them chronologically is a little complicated as some began working late in life, but it is helpful for those interested in certain time frames. The only simple way of listing them is by date of birth, but often the chronology of their careers varies because they began woking in photography late in life and of course their longevity varied. We will eventually also list them alphabetically and by country.

We will eventually list our photographers alphabetically. In the meantime they are easily accessible through our HBC search engine or the Google advanced seaerch.

Country List

Most of these noted photographers had careers which primarily focused on their own countries and thus are a great source of information on individual countries or in some cases specific regions within the country. This was especially true in the 19th century when cameras and photo peocessing were not as portable or widespread.
