The Naylor Collection... A Complete History of Photography
In the 1950s, Thurman F. (Jack) Naylor began collecting cameras, images,
photographic technology, and associated ephemera. Mr. Naylor traversed
the world on a quest to acquire an unprecedented selection of artifacts
representing the entire history of photography. Over the course of more
than 50 years he amassed many thousands of items, a collection that
Smithsonian Magazine has described as "indisputably the most comprehensive
. . . in the world."”
