Strohmeyer (1858-1943) was a photographer and co-founded, along with Nehemiah Wyman (1861-1934), the stereoview publishing house, Strohmeyer & Wyman. Strohmeyer took most of the photographs for the company although Wyman is credited for taking some of the company's earlier photographs of Philadelphia. In 1901, Strohmeyer & Wyman's catalog of photographs was acquired by Underwood & Underwood after the company was bought out by the latter. Strohmeyer & Wyman would remain a publisher, but Underwood & Underwood was in charge of distributing the stereoviews.
