Annan, Thomas, d. 1887

Stanley C. Tuttleman earned a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Chicago in 1940. After serving in World War II, for which he earned a Bronze Star medal, Tuttleman returned to the United States and began working in clothing manufacturing. Beginning in the 1950s, Tuttleman made his fortune as a Philadelphia-based entrepreneur in clothing manufacturing and retailing. Edna Shanis Tuttleman, his wife, graduated from Temple University, and served on the WAVES during World War II. After the war, she married Stanley C. Tuttleman, and the two settled in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. Edna S. Tuttleman managed design operations at Corner House, one of the family's retail and manufacturing concerns, and raised five children. Later in their lives, the Tuttlemans devoted much of their energies and fortune to philanthropy, funding educational, religious and cultural institutions in the Philadelphia area.

In the early 1980s, Stanley Tuttleman purchased a collection of 19th century photographs that became the Edna S. and Stanley C. Tuttleman Family Collection of Nineteenth-Century Photographs. The following photographers are represented in the Tuttleman family's collection:
