In 1880, Jesse Sumner Wooley, an energetic and entrepreneurial thirteen-year-old farm boy from Saratoga County, took a job as an errand boy for a pair of town photographers. This summer job led to a career that would define Wooley's life. From that early start, Wooley went on to become a prominent businessman and inventive photographer in Upstate New York.

This volume tells the fascinating story of Wooley's rise from his impoverished rural roots to a position of success and prosperity as an artist who illuminated twentieth-century bourgeois American culture through his photography. Including more than one hundred color and duotone photographs from his corpus, including a gallery of images from Matt Finley's private collection, the book reveals the range of Wooley's work: Adirondack panoramas, architectural studies, travel shows depicting the American west and Europe, and documentary photographs of contemporary events. Wooley's career is situated within the context of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century town photography, a field dominated by male commercial photographers who captured the day-to-day events of rural and town life. Like many of these professional photographers, Wooley embraced innovations in cameras, producing photo postcards and panoramic photography to satisfy the growing demand for images as souvenirs.

J. S. Wooley showcases the beauty of the Adirondack region as Wooley experienced it, the vital importance of town photographers, and the emergence of photography as a powerful medium to expose the American landscape.

Better quality and even better price
Size: One Size, Color: Cognac (Hundson)
The Timberland leather wallet has a classic look and feels high quality. The leather is soft but sturdy and breaks in nicely with use. It has plenty of card slots and room for cash without being too bulky. The stitching feels durable and built to last. Best of all, the price here was more affordable than buying directly from Timberland, making it an even better value.

Great high quality wallet
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Brown
Great wallet! Gifted to my boyfriend and he loves it. It has a nice leather and looks fantastic. It took some time like any leather to stretch out and fold nicer. Once worn into it has a nice slim fit! Only complaint is there is one spot you can’t put a card because it won’t fold.

Trifold style is perfect.
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Brown
Great style with the half fold and loved the inner section. Very stylish and many color choices. The negative is the material is very stiff. Not a soft leather. Maybe it will break in eventually.
