BENTLEY, WILSON A. (1865-1931) Four circular gold chloride toned photomicrographs of snow crystals ; Together with a composite image of about twenty flakes. Printed from glass plate negatives, the largest 3 x 4 inches (75 x 100 mm), three signed in pencil by Bentley on the verso, with his Jericho Vt. location, two annotated, the multiple image annotated as to snowflake types. Bentley was a Vermont farmer, who in 1885 became the first person to photograph a single snow crystal. He recorded about 5,000 in all, discovering in the process that no two are alike, possibly the first time that this observation had been made. To create the images, he used a microscope attached to a bellows camera. C
