Lecture: “Dr. Richard Fuhrmann: Amateur Photographer in turn-of-the-century St. Louis”
Dr. Richard Fuhrmann (1880-1937) was a native-born St. Louisan who, starting at age 16, learned the art of photography from the influential Emil Boehl. Although trained as a medical doctor, Fuhrmann practiced photography as a hobby throughout his entire life, and not only captured many noteworthy early 20th-century images of St. Louis, but preserved Boehl's 19th-century photographs of the city. Historian Tom Gronski will discuss the rediscovery of these St. Louis treasures.
