Description:

The Living Insignia materials form a small but significant part of the E. O. Goldbeck Papers and Photography Collection. Born in 1892, Eugene O. Goldbeck was a commercial photographer whose career spanned the better part of the twentieth century. San Antonio, Texas, was both his hometown and the headquarters of his business, which he eventually called the National Photo and News Service. In addition to photographing important events and scenes both locally and around the world, he specialized in large scale group portraits, often of military units. Among his military photographs, the Living Insignia projects are of particular interest. The soldiers of a selected division were posed so as to form a representation of the division's insignia when seen from the vantage point of a tower built for the occasion. Careful planning and preparation went into the production of each image. For additional information and a detailed inventory, please consult the finding aid.
