Excerpted from Wikipedia:
William Henry Tipton
(August 5, 1850 – September 20, 1929) was a noted
American
photographer of the second half of the 19th century, most noted for his extensive early photography of the Gettysburg Battlefield
and the borough of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
.
...
In 1868, Tipton partnered with Robert A. Myers and they purchased the Tysons Brothers' studio and went into photography business for themselves as Tipton and Myers Excelsior Gallery. In 1880, Myers sold his share and Tipton renamed the business as W. H. Tipton and Company.
He became quite popular as an outdoor portrait photographer, taking thousands of photographs of visitors to the Gettysburg battlefield, where he established Tipton Park to encourage tourism. By 1888, he had produced an estimated 5,000 views of the battlefield of Gettysburg and more than 100,000 portraits.
He eventually became one of America's best known landscape and portrait photographers, but images of Civil War battlefields remained a mainstay, including Gettysburg, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, Petersburg, Chancellorsville, and Harpers Ferry.
