Many thanks to Matthew Auxier who reached out recently to share an album of his collection of photos that were taken by 19th century women photographers. With Matthew’s permission, I am sharing this link to his wonderful collection on Flickr.
Below is a screenshot I took that shows a very small sample of the great photos in his collection – I encourage you to follow the link to the Flickr album to see 200+ images::

The collection has photos by many women we have yet to meet here on Photographs, Pistols & Parasols. The collection also has examples by several photographers whose stories have been shared previously on this site; click on a name in the list below to see their stories:
Albright, Franc Emma
Aplington, Kate
Appelquest, Emily C.
Fleming, Jeannette
Folsom, Sarah E.
Garrity, Mary
Garrity, Sallie E.
Lawton, Lizzie (Mrs. A. J.)
Roach, Iva
Vreeland, Rosa
I encourage you to explore the whole Auxier Collection: 19th Century Women Photographers. If you see a special photo by a woman in that collection who isn’t on the list above, let me know and I’ll add her name on a short list of photographers to profile sooner-rather-than-later on this site.
Also, be sure to check out the Auxier Collection periodically for updates! Many thanks, Matthew, for sharing your wonderful collection!
