Henry Troth

Troth was born on September 24, 1859, in Tredyffrin Township, Pennsylvania, into a Quaker family who were prominent figures in Philadelphia history.

His images were also used to illustrate volumes of poetry and essays on nature, as well as John William Harshberger's 1911 Botanical Study The Phytogeographic Survey of North America.

[3] According to The Philadelphia Sketch Club, Henry Troth was awarded some thirty medals, including the International Society of Amateur Photography (Berlin 1896), Association de Beige Photographic (1896), Wien Photo Club (1898), the Photography Society of India Medal (1901) and the Photo-club de Paris Salon (1903).

The exhibition ran from May 26-August 12, 1990, and displayed 125 images specifically chosen to represent the rich quality and diversity of select institutional photographic collections.

[5] On rare occasions, original photographs of Troth have come up for auction and are highly sought after and prized by collectors of the Pictorialist genre.
