Charles Dudley Arnold, circa 1893

Charles Dudley Arnold, (geb. 1844 in Port Stanley, Ontario, Kanada, gest. 1927 [wo?]), war ein aus Kanada stammender, US-amerikanischer (Architektur-)Fotograf. Er ist vor allem für seine Fotografien von der Chicagoer World’s Columbian Exposition 1893 bekanntgeworden.

Im Alter von 20 Jahren, also im Jahr 1864, zog Arnold von Kanada in die USA und arbeitet dort zunächst als Handlungsreisender (Vertreter). Mit der Fotografie kam er durch einen Vertreter-Kollegen in Berührung, der ihm seine Fotokamera vorführte.[1]

Ab 1886 ist Arnold als Fotograf in New York nachgewiesen. Arnolds erstes Fotobuch, „Studies in Architecture at Home and Abroad“, erschien 1888 in New York. Arnold unternahm, wahrscheinlich in den 1880-er Jahren, eine Reise durch Europa; viele seiner Architekturfotos aus England und Frankreich wurden 1896 in dem Buch „Country Architecture in France and England, XV. and XVI. Centuries“ („Land-Architektur in Frankreich und England, 15. und 16. Jahrhundert“) veröffentlicht. Weitere Architekturfotografien von Arnold wurden im Jahr 1924 in dem Buch „French Farm Houses, Small Chateaux and Country Churches in France“ („Französische Bauernhäuser, kleine Schlösser und Landkirchen in Frankreich“) von Antonio Di Nardo publiziert.

1891 zog Arnold nach Chicago. Er dokumentierte dort den Aufbau der Columbian Exhibition des Jahres 1893 auf dem Ausstellungsgelände im Jackson Park. Arnold wurde der offizielle Fotograf der World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago 1893; das exklusive Recht, Stereo-Photographien von dieser Weltausstellung anzufertigen, hatte hingegen Benjamin West Kilburn (1827–1909). Es kam zu Konflikten zwischen Arnold und dem Direktorium der Columbian Exposition, aufgrund derer Arnold gegen Ende dieser Weltausstellung als deren offizieller Fotograf durch William Henry Jackson (1843–1942) abgelöst wurde. Die Aufnahmen vom Abschluss der Columbian Exposition stammen also nicht mehr von Arnold, sondern von Jackson. Arnold und seine Assistenzen haben aber während seiner Amstzeit als offizieller Weltausstellungs-Fotograf immerhin rund 15.000 Aufnahmen (Negative) angefertigt.[2]

1895 fotografierte Arnold auf der Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta. Im Jahr 1895 wurde das C. D. Arnold House in Buffalo, New York State, im Bidwell Parkway Nr. 123 errichtet; Bauherr war C. D. Arnold, Architekt war Joseph Lyman Silsbee (1848–1913).[3]

1901 wurde Arnold offizieller Fotograf der Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. Er errichtete dort auf dem Ausstellungsgelände ein großes Fotostudio.

1904 erschien Arnolds Fotoalbum „Niagara the majestic“ mit 54 seiner Fotografien von den Niagarafällen.[4]

Arnold setzte sein Fotogeschäft noch bis in die frühen 1920-er Jahre hinein fort. Er starb 1927; wahrscheinlich in Buffalo, wo er zuletzt lebte. Dort auf dem Forest Lawn Cemetery befindet sich sein Grab.

ARNOLD, CHARLES DUDLEY

(1844–1927)

Charles Dudley Arnold was born in Port Stanley, Ontario, Canada, moving to America at the age of twenty and working as a salesman. It is not clear when he took up photography, but by 1886 he was listed as a photographer in New York. His obituary mentions that he travelled with his camera in Europe — probably in the early 1880s — and architectural photographs by him survive of locations in England and France. Many of these photographs were published in 1896 in the book 'Country Architecture in France and England, XV. and XVI. Centuries', and yet more, as late as 1924, in 'French Farm Houses, Small Chateaux and Country Churches in France' by Antonio Di Nardo.

Arnold’s first book of photographs, 'Studies in Architecture at Home and Abroad', was published in New York in 1888. Three years later, his reputation growing, he moved to Chicago to document the construction of the exhibition site for the 1893 Columbian Exhibition at Jackson Park.

He later went on to take photographs of the Cotton States Exhibition in Atlanta in 1895, and became official photographer for the 1901 Pan American Exposition which was held in his adopted home town of Buffalo — where he erected a large studio on the exhibition site.

He continued in business until the early 1920s, and died in 1927.

»In 1892, Chicago's Director of Works Daniel Burnham hired C.D. Arnold, who was characterized by Alfred Stieglitz as "an obscure Buffalo photographer," to photograph the construction of the Columbia Exposition (of 1893).

Arnold was a promising architectural photographer who had worked for many of the prominent architects chosen to design buildings on the site. The beauty of his images reflect his aesthetic sophistication; the images are handsomely composed and a few recall works by Durandelle.

Arnold produced an impeccable series of construction views, and an equivalent set of views of the finished Fair, most of which were and are best seen as the mammoth-plate platinotypes that formed the first "edition" of the work. Sets of these views are rare and were distributed intermittently to a number of public collections.«

A few were gotten from personal letters, mainly from time at Chicago Col.

C. D. Arnold, Photographer of the Pan-American Exposition by John M. Bewley http://library.buffalo.edu/pan-am/essays/arnold.html

Charles Dudley Arnold was 56 years of age when he was selected to be the official photographer for the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo. By that time in his career Arnold had accumulated more than 20 years as a professional photographer specializing in images of architecture. He had published two books of architectural photographs and won the favorable attention and praise of architects who were coming to rely upon such work for their studies. Arnold also served as the official photographer for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, documenting the project from the initiation of its construction in 1891. The first exposure many people have to the sights of both the Columbian and Pan-American Expositions comes through the images of C. D. Arnold.

Arnold was born in Port Stanley, Ontario March 19, 1844 and moved to Buffalo, New York by the time he was twenty. He was first introduced to photography while working as a traveling salesman when a colleague demonstrated a new camera to him. By the 1880s Arnold had taken up photography professionally and had already chosen to specialize in architectural photography. He left for Europe where he traveled the countrysides of England and France with a dog and a cart, taking photographs of local structures. These images provided a unique source of study for architects in Europe and the United States. Arnold returned to Buffalo after his work abroad. He maintained a residence in the city until his death in 1927.

C. D. Arnold's first book of photographs, Studies in Architecture at Home and Abroad, was published in New York in 1888. His work was well received. During the years 1885-1891 Arnold worked in New York City where he was listed as a photographer in city directories. The success of his work resulted in a contract to become the official ...

photographer for the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. He relocated to Chicago in 1891 and began work documenting the construction of the Exposition that same year.

[S. 2:] »... Due to conflict with the board of the Columbian Exposition, Arnold was replaced as official photographer before the concluding images of the Exposition were shot. William Henry Jackson, a successful landscape photographer, was hired to make the final photographs that would constitute the official visual history of the Exposition. Even without these final photographs, Daniel H. Burnham, Director of Works of the Exposition, reported that Arnold and his crew of assistants had made approximately 15,000 negatives of the Exposition.«
