Howard Beach

Howard D. Beach was a painter, photographer, and inventor. In 1896, he partnered with portrait photographer Andrew Simson to form the Simson & Beach photo studio in Buffalo, New York. During the Pan American exposition of 1901, Beach photographed the Native Americans who participated in the “Indian Congress,” a “living exhibit” of forty-two Indigenous tribes, where this portrait was most likely taken.
