108247 items

1890s-1970s

Description:

E. O. (Eugene Omar) Goldbeck (American, 1892-1986) was a commercial photographer who specialized in military subjects and cirkut panoramic photographs. He was also the founder of the National News and Photo Service in San Antonio, Texas.

The collection consists of nearly 154,000 photographs, including safety and nitrate cirkut panoramic negatives, and vintage panoramic prints. Also included are non-photographic materials including several blueprints for the living insignias and his business records. The materials date from the 1890s to the 1970s, but most material dates from between 1911 and the late 1960s.

Subjects of his photographs include: military maneuvers, personnel, battalions, living insignias, equipment; World War I, World War II, Sino-Japanese War (1895); Shriners and American Legion; commercial photography, including window displays, product photography, and architecture; San Antonio, Texas, including Fiesta de San Jacinto, Battle of the Flowers, street scenes, architecture, Spanish missions, and Kool Ranch. Also included are many group portraits. Most of the photographs are by Goldbeck, but also included is the work of photographers Mitchell, Roper, and Summerville, whose negatives were acquired by Goldbeck. Additionally there is an assembled panoramic print, of an unidentified scene possibly in India, dating to circa 1912?. The print (967:0062:0001) is most likely not by Goldbeck but collected by him.

Due to the size of the collection, it has been broken up into several sections. Finding aids are available for the living insignias (see separate collection record), and the non-panoramic prints and the financial and personal papers (see finding aid http://norman.hrc.utexas.edu/fasearch/findingAid.cfm?eadid=00691&kw=goldbeck).
