Edmund Royce's Photographs of Vermont

Edmund H. "Bug" Royce (1883-1967) was a well-known St. Albans photographer during the 1930s-50s. He descended from a long line of Vermonters; his love of the history of Vermont is reflected in his photography. He collaborated with Herbert Wheaton Congdon on the book The Covered Bridge. A highlight of his career was a July 1951 one-man show in Grand Central Station sponsored by Eastman Kodak Company and entitled "The Vermont Scene." In 1962 Mr. Royce gave a large portion of his collection to the Vermont Historical Society. Some of those photographs are presented here.

This collection was scanned and described in 2019-2020 through the generousity of Don and Pat Whelpley of Naperville, Ilinois.
