1800s Edward Klauber Wood and Ormolu Ornate Picture Frame

About the Item

Frame opening is 16"W x 20"H. Edward Klauber was a photographer and Arts Dealer for many years in Louisville Kentucky. The first instance I could find was for his shop located on 403 Main in 1864. In 1868 he moved to 58 W. Market, and remained there through 1870. 1871-1883 his shop was at Third Street at the NE Corner of Jefferson Street. In 1884 he moved to 332 Fourth Avenue and remained there through at least 1907. I read that Edward Klauber was considered by many to be one of the best photographers of his time. He came from Bohemia at the age of eighteen. His ‘large and elegant studio was compared to the studio of Matthew Brady in New York City. The studio was lavishly furnished. Stage personalities like Mary Anderson enjoyed having portraits done by Klauber when they were in Louisville performing at the Macauley Theatre. Klauber’s studio closed in 1913 and he died in 1918.’ (From The Cabinet Card Gallery) Since his first photography studio opened in 1864, he was at his job for 50+ years!
