Wilson A. Bentley, 1885

It took Bentley two years of painstaking trial and error, but on January 15, 1885, at the age of 19 years, he made the world's first photomicrograph of a snow crystal.

Scientists and professional photographers doubted Bentley's ability and his images authenticity. However, over time Bentley was recognized for what he had achieved.

It was W. A. Bentley A.K.A Snowflake Bentley
There is a book "SNOW CRYSTALS" by Bentley and Humphreys, published by Dover Publications Inc. It's incredible, may I suggest you either check it out at the public library or order a copy from a local book store. It is a book I think every snow lover should own. The ironic thing is that Bentley died of pneumonia shortly after walking to his Vermont farm home in a blizzard.

Off the cuff, I'd say Walt Disney.
