The most successful 19th-century photographer in Long Branch was
Gustavus Pach (1845-1904), one of the several brothers in the Pach Brothers, a
prominent firm with more than a dozen branch studios in the northeastern United
States. Gustavus Pach began photographing in Long Branch from a mobile wagon in
1866 and opened a gallery the following year. He is highly regarded for
hundreds of scenic stereo views of Monmouth County.
Gary Saretzky is a recently retired Monmouth County archivist, acclaimed
author, and photographer.
Funding has been made possible in part by a general operating support grant
from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a Division of the Department of
State, through grant funds administered by the Monmouth County Historical
Commission.
