Dana Studio

[ShoeMan]

Does anyone have any information on the history of Dana Studio?
So, many great photos and post cards of fighters and fights and there seems to be very little written about them.

Dana Studio was established by Edward Cary Dana in Brooklyn, NY.

Here is a short biography:

Thank you for your addition.
I do not think the Dana Studio of San Francisco was an extension of the Dana Studio on the East Coast.
The Dana Studio of San Francisco took their famous fight/fighters images in the early 1900's. I have to think their most famous images are of the Johnson vs Jeffries fight in 1910.
Also keep in mind that Edward Dana died in 1897 and the devastating San Francisco earthquake took place in 1906.

I stand corrected.

Try researching "Charles Percy Dana"

Thank you. I have searched and found very little. I was hoping someone in our community would have more details on the man and his studio.
