Frederick H. Pratt
Frederick H. Pratt American, active early 1900s
Frederick Pratt was a pictorial photographer active in New York in the early 20th century. A member of the Photo-Secession, he took part in the 1905 members' exhibition at Alfred Stieglitz's "291" gallery. The following year he was elected a Fellow of the Photo-Secession and participated in an exhibition organized by the group for the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. In 1906 he also helped organize a show of pictorial photography at the Worcester Art Museum in which the Photo-Secession exhibited as a group.
Four years later Pratt's work was included in the well-known International Exhibition of Pictorial Photography organized by Alfred Stieglitz for the Albright Art Gallery, Buffalo. In 1914 Stieglitz reproduced one of Pratt's landscape images in the April issue of Camera Work. M.M.
