In 1898 he made portraits of H. Rider Haggard, Clara Butt and the Empress of Germany, the last by command of Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle. He also photographed Royal Academicians, leading actors for The Candid Friend and Pope Pius X. Then he returned to New York, and operated a studio on Fifth Avenue. He moved to Palm Beach, Florida and continued to work until 1934. The largest collection of his work is held by the Museum of the City of New York.
