Historical Note

The London Stereoscopic Co. dominated the industry in the 1850s. Its principal photographer, William England (c.1816-1896), produced a set of American travel images in 1859 that provided Europeans with the first look at the American landscape—including the iconic Niagara Falls--and in 1862 took images at London's International Exhibition.
