Napoleon Sarony(March 9, 1821 – November 9, 1896)[1] was an American lithographer and photographer. He was a highly popular and great portrait photographer, most known for his portraits of the stars of late-19th-century American theater. His son, Otto Sarony, continued the family business as an accomplished theater and film star photographer. From Wikipedia
