John Marcham The Photographs of Frederick G. Marcham. Ithaca, New York: DeWitt Historical Society of Tompkins County, 2000. First edition. 0942690443 112 pages. Large-format softcover volume, measuring approximately 10" x 9", is like new. "These ninety engaging photographs of American and English scenes and individuals are the work of a man well known in Upstate New York as a Cornell University professor and public official for more than six decades, but little known as a photographer. The author, his son, is a retired magazine editor whose career began at "Life" in the 1950s. He speculates that F. G. Marcham's composition and choice of subjects often recall the work of classical painters, possibly reflecting the photographer's early study of prints at Oxford and the British Museum. Brief biographical notes invite readers to consider other aspects of the photographer's life that may also have influenced his work."
