William Hanson Dodge

William Hanson Dodge (March 5, 1866 – February 1, 1932) was an American photographer in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, living in Lowell, Massachusetts. His son, Harold F. Dodge, a noted mathematician, was a pioneer in the field of statistical quality control. William Dodge was employed by the Lowell Manufacturing Company; this firm was later purchased by the Bigelow Carpet Company. His work as a designer and color mixer was augmented by his hobby: photography. Dodge was a skilled photographer: in 1894 he won a bronze medal at a competition in New York City for a composition entitled “Winter.” This photo appears in W. I. Lincoln Adams's book Sunlight and Shadow, where it was included as an example of “successful landscape work”; other photographers whose work is featured in the book include Alfred Stieglitz and H. P. Robinson.
