Biographical History

Underwood & Underwood was established in Kansas in 1880, and later moved to New York. The firm was one of the largest producers and distributors of stereoscopic cards, and later news photographs.

From the description of Underwood & Underwood stereographs of South Africa, circa 1899-1902. (Unknown). WorldCat record id: 367947675

Underwood & Underwood, located in Ottawa, Kansas, produced stereoscopes and stereoscopic images, starting in the early 1880’s, and later pioneered the field of news photography.

The Underwood brothers, Elmer (1859-1947) and Bert (1862-1943) began the company by selling stereoscopes door to door. By 1901, they were selling 300,000 stereoscopes a year and producing more than 25,000 cards a day. The company established branches in Baltimore, London, and Canada, and relocated their headquarters to New York City in 1891. They sold a large portion of their catalog to the Keystone View Company in 1920 and unincorporated in the early 1940’s.
