Horace M. Engle

Horace M. Engle was a photographer active during the late nineteenth century, with his documented artistic period spanning 1888 to 1896. His oeuvre, defined by the documentation of thirteen photographs, offers a concise view of photographic practice during this transitional decade.

Engle’s surviving material is held in significant institutional archives, establishing the historic relevance of his output. Thirteen of his photographs are represented in museum collections, including important holdings at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Five works in the database are currently listed as Untitled, indicating that the surviving corpus focuses primarily on high-quality prints recognized for their formal or documentary value rather than narrative content.

The limited documentation available for Horace M. Engle prints underscores the importance of the material preserved in major public institutions. Documentation in the MoMA collection confirms the historical and artistic status of these works as museum-quality photographs. As a result of their age, some of these images may now be categorized under public domain resources, making select photographic works accessible for research and educational purposes.
