    Ferdinand Kuehn was a wireless (telegraph) operator from the Bronx who, in January 1914, was working on the ocean liner "Monroe." When the Monroe wrecked and began to sink, Kuehn gave his life preserver to a woman, and he died. He was twenty years old.

    such amazing light. i hope this is an inspiration to today's photographers . . . there's a quality of transparency film that just can't be rivaled with digital.
  • Matthew Whatley said:
    incredible detail. I really love the lighting on the face. This is really impressive.
  • Jay F said:
    Artistic work from the pre-digital, pre-photoshop era. Wonderful.

    Sureal capture. I wonder how the First Nations People might perceive it. 👍

    Jeanne Moore's research [jeanneamoore.com/whats-in-a-name/] led her to historian Ray Djuff, who argued that it was taken in 1913. He stated that, "Hoke Smith was an editor at the Minneapolis Tribune hired by the Great Northern Railway to work in its advertising and publicity department. It was his task to sell the railway to potential travelers, especially by promoting the newly created Glacier National Park (1910). Combining fact with fiction, he wrote stories that were picked up by the newspapers."
