Karl Struss (1886 - 1981) was a photographer and a cinematographer, active primarily during the first half of the 20th century. He was also one of the earliest pioneers of 3-D films. 

Struss was born in New York City and attended Columbia University, graduating  in 1912. He studied photography with Clarence H. White, a faculty member at Columbia. His first successes came selling photographs to magazines including Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Harper's Bazaar. In 1919, he moved to Los Angeles and signed on with Cecil B. DeMille as a cameraman and subsequently worked on many films.

The present series of photographs were taken between 1909 and 1929 and were printed from the original negatives and glass plates under the direct supervision of Karl Struss.
