Travel Back in Time with the George Ketteringham Photograph Collection
Main Library, Main Building Lobby
Now through May 30, 2012
A selection of George Ketteringham’s iconic images of Cleveland from the early 1900s is currently on view. Travel back in time to see the fashions of the day and to compare well-known Cleveland locations then and now. A graduate of old West High School, George Ketteringham (1876-1954) was an expert at making and repairing the surveying equipment required for the precise planning and positioning of Cleveland-area construction projects. It was through his travels to construction sites throughout the city that George Ketteringham developed an interest in the buildings and locations that would become the focus of his photography. Viewing his subjects with the precise eye of the surveyor, Ketteringham captured images of amazing clarity, strong composition, and atmosphere. The images in the exhibit are drawn from the larger George Ketteringham Collection that is available for viewing through the Cleveland Public Library Digital Gallery.
