T. O'Conor Sloane, Jr Art for Sale at Auction

b. 1870 - d. 1963

T. O’Conor Sloane, Jr., was born in 1870 in Brooklyn, but spent most of his adult life in Orange, New Jersey. He was the son of an accomplished scientist and trained as an electrical engineer. He was photographing by the summer of 1894, at age fifteen, when he documented a weeklong cruise with his father on a sloop yacht on Long Island Sound. Pictures of this trip survive in a unique album he compiled that is now at the Mystic Seaport Museum (Mystic, Connecticut).

Sloane was most active as a naturalistic photographer at the turn of the twentieth century.
