Biography

Prescott Adamson American, 1866-1933 Possibly born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, Prescott Adamson lived in Philadelphia from 1897-1911, where he worked as a business manager. As a photographer, he was active in the Photo-Secession, his work appearing in both Camera Notes and Camera Work. From the late 1890s into the early 1900s, Adamson exhibited not only in Pennsylvania but also in salons in New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and other U.S. cities, as well as in England and Italy. He was a member of the Photographic Society of Philadelphia and, in 1900, gave at least two lectures to the group, one on platinotype toning and another on lantern slides. T.W.F.
