John Alexander Anderson

Born in 1829 and dying in 1917, he is remembered in Lambertville history as the town's first photographer. The Lambertville Historical Society has highlighted his work in exhibits and articles, describing how his photographs captured the community in remarkable detail.

His images documented buildings, streets, and local residents, preserving scenes that might otherwise have been lost. That work has lasting value not just as art, but as a historical record of everyday life in and around Lambertville.

More than a century later, his photographs are still being rediscovered through local archives and museum projects. They continue to help historians and residents see what the town looked like in the 1800s and early 1900s.
