Photographer, Explorer. Famed Grand Canyon explorer, he and brother Emery Kolb operated the Kolb Brothers' Photography Studio on the south rim of the Grand Canyon. In 1911, using the newly invented motion-picture camera, he ran the Colorado River through the Canyon filming the adventure.∼@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Ellsworth Kolb
- along with his brother,
Emery - operated a
photography business
on the South Rim of the
Grand Canyon that endured
and prospered from
1903 until 1976.

THE PIC AT RIGHT SHOWS
EMERY LOWERING HIS
BROTHER ELLSWORTH FOR
A PHOTOGRAPHIC SHOT.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The brothers floated the
Colorado River from
Wyoming to Mexico in 1911.
They returned with the
first motion pictures of
the journey-on-the-water
ever seen. Emery took the
movie on the road,
delivering lectures on
stages and showing his film.
Emery Kolb's show was viewed
by Dr. Alexander Graham Bell
and his son-in-law,
Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor,
(who was the head of the
National Geographic Society.)
The next issue was almost
completely devoted to the
river sojourn.
Ellsworth returned alone to
Needles, Calif. the following
year. There he purchased a
boat and using the higher
waters of the springtime floods,
he floated to the ocean
in Mexico. He wrote a book
recounting the adventure.
Back at the canyon, the Kolb
Brothers added a small theater
to present their film to visitors.
They also enlarged their still
photography studio. Business
was often weak but Emery stayed
with the work the studio.
The brothers had recorded on
film the changing world as it
changed him. The untamed
frontier the Kolb brothers faced,
when they set out in their boat
to record the canyon, slowly
changed and modernized.
The Brothers were important
figure to the history of the
area - Ellsworth, with his
sense of adventure along with
Emery's feisty competence.
If not for Ellsworth, Emery
might never have left Pittsburgh.
