Harold Leroy Harvey was a Baltimore-based photographer, painter, and illustrator whose early recognition included exhibiting at the San Francisco Salon of 1916 at the age of seventeen. He is also believed to have studied with Man Ray in Paris during the early 1920s, sharing his interest in experimental photographic techniques. Harvey’s technical investigations extended into photographic chemistry, and his development of specialized film developers and toners ultimately led him to establish the Harvey Chemical Company in New Jersey.
