Biographical History

Nelson Catlin (b. 1948) was a carpenter and photography partner of Henry Bird Calfee.

Nelson Catlin qas born circa 1848 in New York. Little is known of him except that his name appears on many Calfee stereoviews. These were printed with the squib "Calfee and Catlin" and were part of the series known as "Views of the Wonderland or Yellowstone Park." The partnership was in force during the 1880s in the Bozeman, Montana Territory. The stereographs in this series number 148. Like those of Henry Bird Calfee and Joshua Crissman, Catlin stereographs represent treasures of early Yellowstone days. It is not known whether or not Catlin produced any views bearing his own name alone.
