Mace, Stuart Garfield, 1881-1923
Biography
Stu Mace was one of the most widely-known photographers in the West, and worked for more than 10 years as a staff photographer of The Denver Times. By persuading celebrities with his charm and good nature, he earned for The Denver Times photographs of celebrities that no other newspaper photographer could get, including photographs of Harry Lauder, and the Prince of Wales (later the Duke of Windsor). He was offered numerous jobs as a cameraman in the fledgling business of motion pictures in California, but desired to remain in Colorado. He was one of the first members of the Denver Press Club. He died after contracting pneumonia after photographing the Pueblo, Colorado flood of July 15, 1923.
