Overview

If it is appropriate to think of a photographer laureate of Indiana, that person in the first half of the twentieth century was Frank M. Hohenberger. This book contains 124 examples of his work taken throughout the state between 1904 and 1950. Represented are scenes in Indianapolis, Madison, Vevay, Nashville, Corydon, St. Meinrad, Lincoln City, Santa Claus, Metamora, Brookville, Bloomington, Ellettsville, Martinsville, Avoca, Spencer, West Baden Springs, Liberty, Connersville, Spring Mill State Park, New Harmony, Aurora, Birdseye, Logansport, and Rome City. The subjects are quintessential Hohenberger: people, nature scenes, street scenes, log cabins, covered bridges, ferries, gristmills, railroad stations, trains, and buildings he thought picturesque or historically significant. Besides being a magnificent representation of one of the pioneers in American photography, this work provides a fascinating documentary record of urban and especially rural life in the first half of this century in Indiana.
