Title	Mr. Micawber Photograph
Subject	Ohio Women Literary Ohio Arts and Entertainment Photography Photographers
Place	Loveland (Ohio) Clermont County (Ohio) Warren County (Ohio)
Description	This is Nancy Ford Cones' character study of the Charles Dickens' character Mr. Micawber from the novel David Copperfield. William Stakes, the local grocer in Loveland, Ohio, posed for the photograph. The photograph is a 5" x 7" (12.70 x 17.78 cm) silver print from 1929. Nancy Ford Cones (1869-1962) was born in Milan, Ohio. She began studying photography in her twenties; married a fellow photographer, James Cones, and in 1907 the couple moved to a 33-acre farm outside Loveland. From then until his death in 1939, James printed all his wife's negatives, making the two possibly the first husband and wife team in the history of American photography. Nancy Ford Cones won second prize in a photographic competition sponsored in 1905 by Eastman Kodak Company. First and third prizes among the 28,000 entries went to distinguished photographers Edward Steichen and Alfred Stieglitz, respectively. Much of Cones' work reflected her farm, Road's End. Most of her models were relatives and local residents; she even made some of the costumes for her models to portray a particular character from a story or fairy tale. Camera manufacturers such as Eastman Kodak and Bausch & Lomb bought her rural scenes for advertising campaigns, and many of her works appeared on the covers of such magazines as Country Life in America and Women's Home Companion. By 1920, these titles had expanded to include the most prominent national magazines as McClure's, Cosmopolitan, Ladies' Home Journal, and Munsey's Magazine.
