Happy Birthday Susan! Susan is a British writer and author of the highly acclaimed “Hell’s Half-Acre: The Untold Story of the Benders, A Serial Killer Family on the American Frontier” and a soon to be released biography of burlesque dancer Candy Barr. Additionally, she is the subject of one of my favorite pictures I have ever taken which was made during a research trip to Dallas in 2023.

Get the book on Amazon and elsewhere. I’ve read many books about the Old West and “Hells Half-Acre” is one of the best. Susan really brings 1870’s Kansas to life in a way that will make you think you’ve been there.

You’ll find the nicest (and most talented) people at John Coffer’s Jamboree. So glad to finally meet these two in person.

This ad from the December 1875 issue of Anthony’s Photographic Bulletin I believe represents the “last gasp” of arguably the greatest American lens maker of all time. This is the E & HT Anthony Company, the largest photographic supplier in the country, attempting to sell the last of their remaining stock of CC Harrison lenses.

CC Harrison died in 1864. It is likely that manufacture of his lenses continued to 1866 but production certainly ceased around this time. CC Harrison had been the primary supplier of lenses for E & HT Anthony & Company (they still held considerable CC Harrison stock which they would continue to sell for years to come). In 1866, the CC Harrison Company was sold to the American Optical Company (along with the John Stock Camera Company which supplied wood camera boxes to Anthony). American Optical was subsequently sold just a year later to the Scovill Manufacturing Company. Alarmed by the sale of his lens supplier and camera builder to his competitor, Edward Anthony made new plans. It was at this time that Anthony became the sole agent for Dallmeyer lenses in the United States and the rest, as they say, is history.
