Alfred A. Hart, 1816-1908
Courtesy private collection.
ALFRED A. HART: "Alfred A. Hart was a painter by profession, but was contracted by the Central Pacific Railroad to document the construction of the overland route through the Sierras. Hart had the direct blessing of Judge Crocker, and was able to halt work for periods of time in order to compose his photographic images, most of which were issued as a sequence of stereoviews. ... 364 original images [were in] Hart's series of stereoviews produced during the construction of the railroad through the Sierras from 1866-1869 ... Hart, an artist by profession, was also adept at dramatically recording the pristine landscape and life of the Paiute and Shoshone Indians as the railroad encroached into their lives. Although Hart's stereoviews are well recorded, many of the albumen prints [in albums] provide much broader viewpoints of their subjects than those normally truncated to fit stereographic cardstocks. [A] known album of albumen prints from Hart's negatives is housed at the California Society of Pioneers. ... " Another album of approximately 350 prints including almost 280 images by Hart and Watkins (154 Hart stereo halves, mostly full width and thus larger than a regular stereo according to Mead B. Kibbey) produced by someone in Watkins' studio in 1880 was auctioned in 2006. Description by Bonhams and Butterfields.

"ALFRED A. HART (1816-1906). TROPICAL LANDSCAPE WITH WATERFALL, 1874, 26" x 36" oil on canvas (framed size: 29" x 38"), signed/dated lower left. Relined. Some light craquelure. ... Alfred Hart is best known as a painter and a photographer active in California after 1860. He was born in Norwich, Connecticut in 1816 where he stayed for the earlier part of his art education. Hart then lived for a number of years in Hartford, Connecticut, where he had moved in 1848, and he exhibited there and in New York City. From Connecticut, he relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, where he operated an art supply business. Hart then traveled to California, where he settled briefly in Sacramento while he worked as a photographer for the Central Pacific Railroad. ... He moved to San Francisco in the 1870s and exhibited his portrait paintings at the San Francisco Art Association (1872-1878). He also received a gold medal at the California State Fair (1872). Known for his landscapes, Hart contributed some of his artwork to the Arriola Relief Fund exhibition in 1872. Hart died in 1906 in Alameda County, California."
