Mitchell was an interesting amateur photographer from Philadelphia who was a leading spokesman for the conservative faction of the Photographic Society of Philadelphia. He saw little originality in the pictorialist photographs that were increasingly exhibited in the society's annual Salon. In keeping with his scientific training, Mitchell preferred straightforward representational photography. Using his camera to record the beauty he found in nature, he made no attempt to alter his view through manipulation of the negative or print. NPT Books a division of N.P.
