Photographs by William D. Richardson

Photographs by William D. Richardson, March 7 - May 5, 2007 at Gitterman Gallery in New York, NY. "...Born in Jackson, Michigan in 1876, William Richardson was a chemist and had a passion for nature. Not surprisingly, he embraced photography as a medium of exploration and expression. Educated in Chicago, he served as chief chemist for Swift & Company, and built a rustic country residence in the nearby dunes of Indiana which is now the site of the Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary. His pictorialist photographs of nature were exhibited in numerous salons, from his local Camera Club in Chicago to international venues including London, Paris, and Tokyo. This exhibition presents a rare selection of his photographs of New York City, which he visited in the 1920s. The prints are 16 x 20 inches and printed on matte surface paper from the period."
