About This Item
Chattanoga, TN, ca. 1950. Fifty-three original photographs ranging in size from 3 x 4 inches to 14 x 11 inches but with the large majority of them being of the larger size. An interesting selection of local photographs, from paddle-wheels to alligators. All silver gelatin. Very good contrast and condition.Paul W. Haasis was born around in 1898 in Florida but soon became a citizen of Chattanooga. As we cannot find him in any list of professional photographers we can presume that photography was his avocation. He entered four of his photographs to the competition of the Photographic Society of America, Pictorial Division. He seems to have favored a Rolleiflex and developed his own negatives. His entry sheets are included with this lot. He also entered a number of photographs to the local state fair competition and won two first prize ribbons (sheets and ribbons included). Aside from some self portraits the vast majority of the photographs are nature oriented and pictorial in orientation. One is hand-colored and a few are on stiff mounts. His wife, Laura, seems to have joined him in his pursuit as there are three photographs attributed to her.
