Aggiungi al carrelloOne large hand-coloured silver gelatin panoramic photograph, sized 42 x 16 in., archivally mounted on foam core, and framed, with remarkable strong and bright contrast. This remarkable panoramic photograph captures the planing mill, stacks of timber, and even the mill workers on the outskirts of Willamina, Oregon during the Roar…ing 20s. The birds-eye view shows the distant forested hills, the planing mill in operation with 1920s automobiles parked alongside, mill workers standing amidst immense piles of lumber, and equipment. These large hand-coloured images were very popular during the 1920s and 1930s, with commercial photographers supplying the images for offices, owner's homes, and sometimes as publicity pieces to be displayed in prominent public building locations. Neely (1880-1969) first came to Oregon in 1889, and by 1906 was working for the Sheridan Lumber Company at their Upper Mill Project in Willamina, OR. He later formed the Everett Lumber Co. with Fremont Everett in 1919, and by the mid-1920s was operator owner of the Neely Planing Mills, which he continued operating until 1954, even serving as mayor of Willamina, OR for 14 years. Mentzer (1893-1953), was a photographer in Tacoma, WA and during World War I served with the American Expeditionary Force in France, sailing on the RMS Olympic to Europe in March, 1919, and finally returning back to the United States on the SS Rotterdam arriving in New York on Jan. 28, 1920. He was stationed at Fort Lewis until the early 1920s, before setting up a studio in Portland, OR through the 1930s, and following the Great Depression worked for the Oregon Ship Building Corporation in Portland, OR.
