- Summary:
- "Sitka photographer Elbridge W. Merrill (1870-1929) captured three decades of cultural transformations in the Tlingit community, Russian Orthodox clergy and congregants, and local industry. Born in Boston, Merrill began experimenting with photography in his early twenties and was employed as a journalistic photographer before moving to Alaska. Merrill's photographs are valued for both the historical information they preserve and their artistic composition"-- Provided by publisher.
