Truman Ward Ingersoll (1862 – 1922)

Truman W. Ingersoll was a successful St. Paul, Minnesota photographer around 1883. He stampeded to the Klondike in search of photographic opportunities and published stereographs (stereophotographs) of Alaska. In 1898 there was an important innovation in stereograph production with cheaper to produce lithographs (colour printed half-tone stereographs) and they were printed by the millions. Ingersoll was one of the first to market this new format, but he produced no original lithographs of the Klondike.¹⁾
