Baron Adolph de Meyer



I googled a bunch of things related to photography and I came across a man by the name of Baron Adolph de Meyer.  I know he isn't in the 19th century but I found him interesting. He was a photographer famed for his elegant photographic portraits in the early 20th century, many of which depicted celebrities. He was also the first official fashion photographer for the American magazine Vogue, appointed to that position in 1913. He was also a photographer during World War 1 and most of his prints were destroyed during the war.

                                  This is an example of something he created for Vogue.
