<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 7055, member: 201&quot;]I looked at other George Rockwood images on the web, and his signature varied at different times, so who knows.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is similar to yours, but not identical...</p><p><a href="http://cabinetcardgallery.wordpress.com/category/photographer-rockwood/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cabinetcardgallery.wordpress.com/category/photographer-rockwood/" rel="nofollow">http://cabinetcardgallery.wordpress.com/category/photographer-rockwood/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And these are all different...</p><p><a href="http://www.georgerockwood.com/rockwoodphotographs.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.georgerockwood.com/rockwoodphotographs.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.georgerockwood.com/rockwoodphotographs.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>From what I&#039;ve read, there&#039;s no indication that George Rockwood had more than one location.</p><p><br /></p><p>In Google Books, I found ads in photography publications for a photographer named Rockwood at uptown addresses. One of them is for a Rockwood, Jr. from the early 1900s, so maybe George Rockwood had a son who went into the business. I didn&#039;t see any mention of this in the biographical info I found on George, though.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=Ld8SAAAAIAAJ&amp;pg=PA183&amp;dq=rockwood+jr+photographer+amsterdam+avenue&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=2La4U-7eDYiPyASk6YCoBA&amp;ved=0CDcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&amp;q=rockwood%20jr%20photographer%20amsterdam%20avenue&amp;f=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://books.google.com/books?id=Ld8SAAAAIAAJ&amp;pg=PA183&amp;dq=rockwood+jr+photographer+amsterdam+avenue&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=2La4U-7eDYiPyASk6YCoBA&amp;ved=0CDcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&amp;q=rockwood%20jr%20photographer%20amsterdam%20avenue&amp;f=false" rel="nofollow">http://books.google.com/books?id=Ld8SAAAAIAAJ&amp;pg=PA183&amp;dq=rockwood jr photographer amsterdam avenue&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=2La4U-7eDYiPyASk6YCoBA&amp;ved=0CDcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&amp;q=rockwood jr photographer amsterdam avenue&amp;f=false</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, one of the ads was from the early 1920s where the photographer was trying to sell his business. George Rockwood died in 1911, so clearly there was another Rockwood who did photography in NYC in the first part of the 20th century!</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be interesting to know if they were related, but I don&#039;t have the resources to research that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
