| Joshua Smith (1841–1927) | ||||||||||
| A clergyman, Smith was also a photographer and publisher who made his mark in Chicago. His photography career spanned the 1860s to the 1880s, and he gained recognition for his composite portraits of babies, as well as for his panoramic images of the 1871 Chicago fire and the 1872 Boston fire. His work earned him a Silver Medal at the 1878 Paris Exhibition, and in 1883, he was appointed president of the American Photographers Association. In 1900, Smith published a book compiling letters from officers who served in the Civil War, a conflict in which he himself had participated. | ||||||||||
