The article examines the genealogy of Joseph Byron, the founder of a commercial artist studio in New York City. In 1890, Byron and his son, Percy Claude Byron, captured the wide variety of scenes in the city through a series of photographs known as the Byron Collection. These images were archived in the Museum of the City of New York. The museum's curator of prints Grace M. Mayer published a selection of those photographs in the volume entitled "Once Upon a City: New York from 1890 to 1910." Byron's popularity led to the study of his personal background or photographic career prior to his arrival in the U.S.
