B.P. Higgins - Chicago photographer
I am looking for information on Benjamin P. Higgins, an early photographer from Chicago.Many examples of his later work are found in the archives at Hope College here in Holland, Michigan.Mr. Higgins left Chicago soon after the big fire in 1871 in which he lost a large portion of his negative collection. By 1875 he set up shop in Holland and remained in the photography business, to one degree or another, until he died in 1912.I would like to find out more about his years in Chicago, and would really like to see some examples of his portrait work from before 1875.
