Photographers at Bellefontaine Cemetery
As photography went from an art form only done in a studio to a hobby performed by everyone, St. Louis photographers could be found at the cutting edge of this transition. Several photographers are memorialized here at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum and will be featured in this online presentation, from Thomas Easterly, to the Parish Sisters, Fitz Guerin and many others who made their mark in this new media.
Photography has transitioned with the times. Initially a rare and always artistic media, photography will emerge as a means for all to record the passage of time.
