Biographical/Historical Data:
Lloyd Valentine Winter (1866-1945) and Edwin Percy Pond (1872-1943), of the firm Winter & Pond Co., were prominent Alaskan photographers. In 1893, Winter came to Juneau from San Francisco and entered a partnership with George M. Landerkin, known as Landerkin and Winter. In 1894, his long time friend E.P. Pond bought out Landerkin. Winter and Pond served as official Alaska photographers for the Alaska-Yukon Pacific Exposition in Seattle in 1909. During the gold rush, Winter was appointed the official photographer for the firm of Underwood and Underwood and also for "Leslie's Weekly" covering gold rush activities on the Dyea and White Pass trails to the Klondike. Winter and Pond operated their Juneau-based curio shop and photography studio for over 50 years until Pond's death at age 71 in 1943. In 1945, Lloyd Winter turned the business over to Francis Harrison, who maintained the Winter & Pond Co. until 1956.
