Photography

Photographs: The Terminal (New York) by Hoboken, New Jersey-born photographer Alfred Steiglitz, 29; The White House by West Virginia-born photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, 29, who has photographed interiors of the executive mansion at Washington, D.C., and now photographs the "White City" of the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago. Like most of her work, the pictures have been taken on commission (see 1900).

George Eastman hires Louisville, Ky., photographer William G. Stuber, 29, late in the year to solve his film emulsion problem (see 1891). The company is deep in debt, Stuber is not a chemist, but he works on finding a better film emulsion and by next year will have come up with emulsions so good that even professional photographers who have heretofore disdained Eastman film will begin using it (see Pocket Kodak, 1895).
