__________________________________
After completing his photography apprenticeship in Germany at the age of 15, Henry Buehman journeyed to the American West, where he worked and traveled before settling in Tucson, Arizona Territory. There he purchased a portrait studio and established a photography business, quickly becoming the premier photographer in Tucson and in the Territory. Buehman periodically traveled through the surrounding areas, which allowed him to compile a large portfolio that included Native American and scenic images as well as his portraiture. In addition to his success as a photographer, Buehman eventually served as mayor of Tucson from 1895-1899.
Buehman worked with F.A. Hartwell in 1881, and by 1883, they had formed a full partnership. Soon after, photographs produced by the studio included the "Buehman & Hartwell" imprint, indicating that this image was taken ca 1883 or after.
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
