| John P. Troy J.P. Troy was the official Cornell University photographer from 1900 - 1928. Photos of events, campus views and athletics appeared in every Cornell publication from yearbooks to calendars. Troy was an iconic fixture at Cornell for over a quarter century. When he retired in 1928 his studio had over 20,000 negatives. Troy would take pictures at the football games each Saturday, and make the Post Cards available for sale to the students each Monday following the game. His pictures of games would also appear in the yearbook, calendars and many other publications. Below is an example of a 1923 football program advertising his RPPCs. |
