Frederick W. Glasier, (1866-1950), is not a very well known photographer. He was a commercial portrait photographer who is best known for photographing all the circuses that came through northern Massachusetts for the first third of the twentieth century.

Prior to starting his career in photography, Glasier worked as a town clerk and textile designer in his hometown of Brockton, Massachusetts. From his residence, Glasier worked, exhibited his photographs, and sold copies of his prints. He later opened the Glasier Art Studio and Museum.

In the early 1900s, Fred W. Glasier took publicity photographs for major circuses and Wild West shows. He had traveled out West and was greatly influenced by William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody.

Performers had their photographs taken by Glaser, which they later sold to their fans. While Glasier took scenic shots of the circus and portraits of circus performers for commercial sale, he also documented the daily life of the traveling circus and Wild West shows.

F.W. Glasier also gave public lectures on his photographs to increase his income. These lectures were designed around his photographs of Native Americans, the Circus, and the history of the Pilgrims.
