A… full-tone photogravure from CAMERA NOTES, January 1900, Vol. 3, No. 3. Emma Justine Farnsworth (1860-1952) of Albany, New York was an active photographer from around 1886 to 1912. She created allegorical and narrative images to use as book illustrations. Alfred Stieglitz called her the finest lady amateur photographer, and in 1897 she was awarded the second one-person showing at the Camera Club of New York. Her work was included in the 1900 Paris Exposition in a special exhibition of American women photographers. She won numerous prizes for her work. See Petersen, Christian A.

At the Paris Exposition of 1900 her work was included in a special exhibition of American women photographers arranged by Frances Benjamin Johnston. By Farnsworth's own account, she had by this time taken upwards of twenty-five medals in the United States, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, and India."
