Fred Payne Clatworthy Boxed Collection Back to: Boxed Collection Index

Fred Payne Clatworthy was born in Ohio in 1875. After several visits to the West, Clatworthy settled with his family in Estes Park, Colorado in 1905. A self-taught photographer, Clatworthy was known for his autochromes, black and white, and hand-colored photographs. Clatworthy promoted his scenic photos of the area to tourists visiting the Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park. In addition to running his Estes Park studio, "Ye Lyttel Shop," where he sold western curios and his scenic views, Clatworthy worked on assignment for National Geographic, Matson Navigation Company, and the railroads. Over one hundred Clatworthy autochromes appeared in National Geographic between 1923 and 1934. In addition to his stunning work documenting the west, Clatworthy traveled widely, photographing scenic wonders in Mexico, New Zealand, Switzerland, Tahiti, and Hawaii. Clatworthy died in 1953.

from "Scenes from the Heights: The Rocky Mountain Photographs of Fred Payne Clatworthy," Colorado Heritage, 1987 Issue 3.

In addition to the Clatworthy photographs, the Society also holds artifacts from Clatworthy's studio and personal papers, MSS 1794, the Fred Payne Clatworthy Manuscript collection.

One hundred Clatworthy images from the Colorado Historical Society Collection are available for viewing in digital format on the web site http://photoswest.org.
