Henry Greenwood Peabody (1855-1951) had a career spanning nearly sixty years, producing thousands of photographs, slides, and films documenting the American landscape. Peabody served as the official photographer for the Boston and Maine Railroad and the Great Northern Railway. After 1898 Peabody worked with William Henry Jackson at his Detroit Publishing Company, many of the images Peabody created for the Detroit Publishing Company have been wrongly identified as those of Jackson. The Huntington Library houses a large collection of Peabody's photographs.
