Biographical History
John C. Hemment was contracted by the U.S. government and various newspapers, including William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal, to take photographs of the wreckage of the USS Maine in Havana, Cuba. His experiences in Cuba during the Spanish-American War were chronicled in his Cannon and Camera (New York, 1898).
Biographical note: John C. Hemment was particularly active as a turf photographer. He also photographed other sporting events and provided photographic coverage of the Spanish-American War, which resulted in a book, CANNON AND CAMERA, published in 1898. Hemment was reportedly a recognized leader in "instantaneous" photography and photographed the most difficult athletic events with his own specially designed camera.
