Frank George Carpenter (Mansfield, Ohio, June 18, 1855, – Nanking, May 8, 1924[1][2]) was an author, photographer, lecturer, collector of photographs. Carpenter was a writer of standard geography textbooks and lecturer on geography, and wrote a series of books called Carpenter's World Travels which were very popular between 1915 and 1930.
