Biography:
The Byron Company was a commercial photographic firm that prospered in New York City. It was founded by Joseph Byron (1847-1923), the son of an English commercial photographer, in 1892. The company specialized in making still photographs of theatrical productions and later, under the leadership of Joseph's son Percy (1878-1959), in photographing ships, especially big ocean liners. Together, this father and son team documented the turn of the century in New York City until the beginning of World War II.
