Fresh from a local estate is this vintage photo of a group of African American men posing in front of a building. The photo measures approx. 10 x 16 and is in overall good+ condition with numerous problems. There is paper loss at some of the edges, small tears, tape residue at the corners and edges, a couple of creases at the lower right hand corner, etc. That being said, this is still a pretty solid image as you can see. The photo is marked on the back as being by Foltz Photography in Savannah Georgia so we wonder if the building is also located in Savannah. We found the following info on Foltz on the internet: The Foltz Photography Studio in Savannah, Georgia was established by George Raymond Foltz (ca. 1881-1957), a native of Shamokin, Pennsylvania. Foltz came to Savannah in 1899 from Atlantic City, New Jersey, where he was associated with the boardwalk photography studio of Harry Phillips. His Savannah business was known as Franklin and Foltz (116 Bull Street) in 1900, then Foltz and Co. in 1901. In 1915, Foltz moved the studio to 240 Bull Street. He relocated the business again in 1917, to 10 West Broughton Street, where it remained until 1954, known during this time as Foltz Studio and as Foltz Photography. Between 1954 and 1965, the studio was operated at 30 West Broughton Street. Foltz retired in 1949, and the business was acquired by Augusta Klask Cordray (Mrs. Arthur A., 1900-1971), a native of Bonn, Germany. George Foltz died in 1957 and was survived by his wife, Robena Wilson Foltz, and three brothers. Mrs. Cordray, who had worked for Foltz since the 1920's, continued to operate the studio under the names, Foltz Photography and Foltz Studio until her retirement in the 1960's. After the studio closed in 1965, Mrs. Cordray donated the studio's photograph collection to the Georgia Historical Society. Please ask any questions before making purchase.
