Supplemental information

 

John Beasley Greene

The following posting was made to the Yahoo PhotoHistory Group (28 June 2006) and if anybody can help out I'm sure it would be appreciated.
 
To whom it may concern, I am currently completing a Masters thesis on the photographer J.B. Greene 1832 - 1856.
 
As an appendix to my work I am attaching a list of known prints. If there is any collector, dealer or museum who reads this query, who I have not spoken with, could you please contact me at rtopham@ryerson.ca, as I would like to discuss your prints.
 
Thank you for your time,
 
I hope to hear from some of you soon,
