Koopman's Photograph Gallery

Photo of HR Koopman II (seated) and chums in front of his studio at 111th and Michigan in 1889. Family friend John Ton secured young Henry this property in 1884 and probably helped him convert it from an art supply/framing business to a Photograph Gallery. Note on awning it is spelled "gallery" Corner "cut offs" in photo indicates that Koopman was likely using his first camera to shoot this, gear that he may have purchased from Simpson Studios in New Jersey. John Ton met his and his gear with a wagon when he got off the train at Kensington.
