James N. Stone Jr. (1851-1911) was a lawyer and amateur photographer. He became a member of the Philadelphia Photographic Society in 1868. The Stone Collection contains photographic images in a variety of formats, some of which were taken by Stone, and others which he simply collected. Among the highlights are a photo album assembled by his son Frank S. Stone in 1912 (which contains photos taken by James Stone Jr. and Ellersbie Wallace Jr.), a rare daguerreotype by Robert Cornelius and a photo of Independence Hall taken from the Philadelphia Photographic Society’s rooms at 520 Walnut St. The entire collection will soon be available on the Athenaeum's Featured Collections site.
Individual holding records for this collection are available on the Philadelphia Architects and Buildings website. |
