The J. C. Knowles Photograph Collection consists in a collection of glass plate negatives dating from ca. 1900 through the late 1910s, attributed to Wharton & Tyree Studio and Tyree Studio of Raleigh, NC. Based on the age of the negatives, where they were found initially, and a notation on one of the plates, it is likely they were all created by Wharton’s Gallery, 1886-1905, Wharton & Tyree Studio, 1905-1912, and Tyree Studio, 1912-1916 of Raleigh, North Carolina.

Cyrus P. Wharton (1852-1929) operated one of the best-equipped and largest photography studios in North Carolina beginning with Wharton’s Gallery on Fayetteville Street in downtown Raleigh in 1886. In 1905 he partnered with Manly W. Tyree (1877-1916) and operated as the Wharton & Tyree Studio. Wharton appears to have retired in 1911, and Tyree continued on alone as the Tyree Studio until his death.

2- Wharton & Tyree Studio (1905-1911)

Harry J. Burrell developed an interest in natural history after he settled in Manilla, northern NSW with his wife Susan Emily Naegueli in 1901. As a naturalist, Burrell is most famous for being the first person to successfully keep platypuses in captivity. To do this he invented the ‘platypusary’, a storage tank which enabled him to both study and exhibit live platypuses. The platypusary was used for the first time in 1910 to show live platypuses at the Moore Park Zoo in Sydney. In 1922 he assisted Ellis Stanley Joseph with successfully transporting the first ever live platypus beyond Australian shores. The sole surviving platypus of the original 5 platypuses’ arduous journey died within a few weeks of being exhibited at the Bronx Zoo, New York.
