Joseph L. Bates
Joseph L. Bates (1806 or 1807 – March 2, 1886) was an American merchant and manufacturer based in Boston specializing in musical instruments, umbrellas, stereoscopic photographs and viewers, and fancy goods.
Career
Bates began his business in 1828 as a manufacturer of musical instruments at 44 Market St., Boston.[1] The following year he advertised his move to 6 Court Street, Boston, by which time he had expanded into the manufacture and repair of umbrellas and parasols.[2]
His works include stereoscopic photographs of Boston and New England scenery, landscapes, and buildings. He was one of several photographers to produce stereoscopic images in the area of Glen House near Mount Washington (New Hampshire). Images he published included many of Boston's landmark buildings. He also produced still life-style images of a wreath, an arrangement of seashells, and coral.
His photographs are included in the extensive Getty Center photography collection, located in Los Angeles, California.[3]
