This picture is identified as Dr. Fritz Rausenberger, designer of long range artillery,such as Big Bertha and the Paris Gun for Krupp on this Dutch page: www.microsofttranslator.com/BV.aspx?ref=IE8Activity&a... This page identifies him as the man who named "Big Bertha" "The name “Dicke Bertha” is said to have been given by the designer of the gun, Professor Fritz Rausenberger, naming it after Bertha as the owner of the Krupp firm. Bertha herself may not have been especially flattered by the implication of her size being associated with such a huge gun! As with so many of the names to be found connected with the Western Front battlefields, this German name was subsequently translated by the British soldiers into the well-known British name for this gun, and generally any other very large German gun during the war, as a “Big Bertha”." www.greatwar.co.uk/battles/second-ypres-1915/prelude/big-... He does not have a page on the American Wikipedia, but has one on the German site: "Friedrich or Fritz Rausenberger (born February 13 1868 in Frankfurt am Main; d. April 28 1926 in Munich) was a weapons engineer" de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Rausenberger

"Robert Edmond Jones (December 12, 1887 - November 26, 1954) was an American scenic, lighting, and costume designer. He is credited with incorporating the new stagecraft into the American drama. His designs sought to integrate the scenic elements into the storytelling instead of having them stand separate and indifferent from the play’s action. His visual style, often referred to as simplified realism, combined bold vivid use of color and simple, yet dramatic, lighting." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Edmond_Jones

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Elegant, Distinguished, Glamourous Men (Vintage), and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Love that there are photos of theatre designers in the archives, we are not ENTIRELY behind the scenes! Also happen to love it on a photographic level too.

Thank you!

The framed picture behind him is one of his designs for The Green Pastures (1930)
