The photos, showing people and scenes in and around Norristown and Philadelphia, were mainly taken by Jesse G. Butterfield, with a couple by William H. Richardson and Frank C. Parker. They were printed here by the Electro-Tint Engraving Co., Philadelphia. The photos are especially interesting as they show many of the Quaker Meeting Houses in the area. Hardbound. Very good+. Ellwood Roberts (born in 1846) was a famous and productive Pennsylvania historian, whose main work: 'Biographical Annals of Montgomery County' (1904) is still consulted with profit.
