Why Edward A. Bromley Photos

If you’re interested in or collect early Minnesota photographs, especially Minneapolis, St. Anthony and St. Paul, you’ll inevitably run into the Bromley Collection, as I did. The ones here are just a fraction of them. The Minneapolis Public Library and the Minnesota Historical Society have hundreds of Bromley images in their collections.

Edward Augustus Bromley (1848-1925) came to Minnesota from New England in 1867. He was nineteen years old. Around 1878 he began collecting daguerreotypes and photographs of Minnesota. He quickly enlarged his collection by buying the glass-negative collections from pioneer Minnesota photographers Benjamin Franklin Upton (1818-?) and Joel Emmons Whitney (1822-1886). Later he’d buy negatives by A. H. Beal and W. H. Jacoby and many other Minnesota photographers. He quickly collected almost ten thousand negatives.
Bromley was one of America’s earliest photojournalists. He set out to collect a photographic history of St. Anthony and Minneapolis. He also wanted people to know what they were looking at and to provide history with accurate titles for his photographs. He considered himself a journalist and insisted on accuracy. He either witnessed the scene or interviewed an eyewitness. History thanks him.

In order to pay the bills Bromley sold photographic prints from the original negatives to the public. The postcard images here were originally published in 1890 in one of the very first photo books ever published. The postcards here are from a Set of 100 that sold later, ca. 1911. You can read all about this in a wonderful book: Minneapolis Portrait of the Past - A Photographic History of the Early Days in Minneapolis Collected & Compiled by Edward A. Bromley; Voyager Press 1973.
Directly below are 20 photos prints of early Minneapolis. In addition, we have 80 postcards from the EARLY Bromley collection. Click here to jump to the EARLY collection.
