Nancy Ford Cones was a nationally recognized photographer and longtime resident of Loveland. Working in partnership with her husband James, who developed her work, Cones often used Loveland residents as models. She was selected by the Eastman-Kodak company to depict rural life in America and her works were featured in magazines and publications from 1898 through the 1930s. Today, Cones is best known for her pictorial photographic work. Many of these prints, which incorporate artistic and narrative elements, received awards in national and international photographic competitions.
The Cones Gallery inside Bonaventure at the Museum features a rotating selection from the over 1000 artifacts in the museum’s archival collection consisting of photographic prints, glass plates, correspondence, cameras, and more.
