Photographer Isaac Newton Boyce - Hartsdale Pet Cemetery
From: "Mary Thurston" info@animalimage.com, mary@petcem.com
I was very interested to find your website. I was wondering if you have ever come across a reference to Isaac Boyce, who for a time was official photographer to the Denver RioGrande Western line before moving to New York to become a studio photographer around the turn of the [20th] century? Library and county archives here in Westchester County contain very little information about the man, and I was told by his granddaughter that upon his death in 1936 the entire contents of his studio were thrown away.
Between 1905 and 1920 Mr. Boyce took a number of photographs of our pet cemetery, making them the largest known surviving collection of his work today.
I would appreciate hearing from you if you happen to have any further information about Mr. Boyce's time with the railroad so we might add it to our archives here. ...
