With a portfolio including images of post-war Charleston and President Lincoln's funeral procession in New York City, William E. James' greatest project came as a member of the Quaker City expedition. As the only photographer on board, James took dozens of stereoscopic images of "points of interest" for the Plymouth Church. He later sold them and presented the images in illustrated sermons at Sunday Schools. |
