Biography

William B. Post American, 1857-1925 Born in New York City, William B. Post was a member of the Photo-Secession and one of only 10 lifetime members of New York's Society of Amateur Photographers. Today, he is perhaps best known for introducing Alfred Stieglitz to the hand camera in 1892. In the decades around the turn of the century, Post exhibited his photographs frequently in the United States, Canada, and Europe. His images were reproduced in Camera Notes (1901) and Camera Work (1904), and he assembled one of the earliest collections of the work of his pictorialist peers. Post's own photographs show a special interest in winter scenes, often taken in the vicinity of his home in Fryeburg, Maine. T.W.F.
