Annisquam from Riverdale? Rare

Proctor Brothers was a photography firm based in Utica, New York, that operated from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The firm was founded by brothers William Proctor and Thomas Proctor, who were both skilled photographers and artists.

Proctor Brothers was known for their high-quality photography and their innovative use of new photographic techniques and equipment. They produced a wide range of photographs, including portraits, landscapes, and architectural images. Some of their most notable works include photographs of the historic landmarks and natural scenery of the Mohawk Valley region of New York.

In addition to their photography work, Proctor Brothers were also involved in the production of stereoviews, which were a popular form of photography during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Stereoviews were created by taking two nearly identical photographs simultaneously from slightly different angles and mounting them side-by-side on a card. When viewed through a stereoscope, the two images combine to create a three-dimensional effect.

Proctor Brothers' stereoviews were highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts and are now considered valuable historical artifacts. Their images provide a fascinating glimpse into life in the Mohawk Valley region during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and their work helped to establish photography as a respected art form in Upstate New York.
