For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource William J. Klauer Collection Description An account of the resource In May and June of 1912, two itinerant photographers arrived in Dubuque and began shooting the photographs that would become the Klauer Collection. For three weeks they traveled throughout the city with a large-format camera and a magnesium-powder flash lamp taking approximately 440 photographs of workers in factories, offices, shops, saloons and even the operating room at Mercy Hospital. We don't know the photographers' names, although they each posed as customers as needed, leaving us with several self-portraits. This type of workplace photography was not unusual in 1912 – itinerant photographers traveled the country photographing cities large and small. However, the fact that most of the glass negatives did survive together, intact for 100 years, is unusual. Itinerant photographers could not carry their solid glass plates with them and instead sold them to junk dealers who scraped the emulsion clean and resold them. Fortunately, the Dubuque photographers sold the plates to Peter Klauer, then President of Klauer Manufacturing Company, who stored them in one of his warehouses. In the 1970s, at least two sets of contact prints were made and in the 1980s, Peter’s grandson, William, donated a set of contact prints to the Center for Dubuque History. Later, 330 of the glass plates - all that remained - were also donated.

Title A name given to the resource [Hos Brothers' Saloon] Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Photographer unknown Description An account of the resource A bartender, dressed in a long-sleeved white shirt, tie and a white apron tied around his waist, is leaning back on a long, wooden counter.

The Encyclopedia Dubuque (www.encyclopediadubuque.org) states that the Adams Company manufactured fifty-two Adams-Farwell automobiles featuring futuristic innovations including fuel injection, supercharging, and automatic timing. The car was the first in the world to be powered with a rotary air-cooled engine. Placed in the rear of the car, the engine was designed by the factory’s superintendent and engineer, Fay Oliver Farwell. The 1912 Dubuque City Directory indicates that Frank Fosselmann's Grocery is located at 2376 Couler Avenue and Mr. Fosselmann's residence is at the same address.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource William J. Klauer Collection Description An account of the resource In May and June of 1912, two itinerant photographers arrived in Dubuque and began shooting the photographs that would become the Klauer Collection. For three weeks they traveled throughout the city with a large-format camera and a magnesium-powder flash lamp taking approximately 440 photographs of workers in factories, offices, shops, saloons and even the operating room at Mercy Hospital. We don't know the photographers' names, although they each posed as customers as needed, leaving us with several self-portraits. This type of workplace photography was not unusual in 1912 – itinerant photographers traveled the country photographing cities large and small. However, the fact that most of the glass negatives did survive together, intact for 100 years, is unusual. Itinerant photographers could not carry their solid glass plates with them and instead sold them to junk dealers who scraped the emulsion clean and resold them. Fortunately, the Dubuque photographers sold the plates to Peter Klauer, then President of Klauer Manufacturing Company, who stored them in one of his warehouses. In the 1970s, at least two sets of contact prints were made and in the 1980s, Peter’s grandson, William, donated a set of contact prints to the Center for Dubuque History. Later, 330 of the glass plates - all that remained - were also donated.
