Koopman - Portrait of Henry Ralph Koopman II

Oval portrait on cardboard mount. Photo probably graphed by wife, Katie. Slightly retouched mustache and side burns, c1894. Inscriptions typed on paper taped to rear of the photo "H. R. Koopman First President of the South End Merchants Association organized May 12, 1894 He served six years". The South End Merchants Association was formed immediately following the Pullman Strike. The Association was comprised of businessmen from Roseland and likely nearby Kensington and donated food and clothing to starving Pullman families. Koopman, having just published his Pullman picture book, "The City of Brick" in 1893 had temporarily given up photography and had entered into a partnership with his brother-in-law to operate a grocery store. The two "gave away the store" during the relief effort and disolved the partnership. Koopman soon resumed photography at the old stand for another 10 years and later worked part-time as a photographer for the Pullman Company. The Merchants organization he co-founded later became the South End Chamber of Commerce and maintained a building on Michigan Avenue until about 1973.
