Background
Walter P. Miller (1877-1938) was a photographer of the Pacific Northwest, primarily of the Seattle, Washington, area. His
body of work is varied, a significant portion documenting the town and people of Seattle, and is valuable for documenting
life in the Pacific Northwest at the turn of the twentieth century. Although it seems as though the majority of his work did
not depict maritime culture, he took a particular interest in documenting or collecting maritime photography and was a sailor
himself.
