O.T. Frasch Images Acquired in 2008

Looking at the O.T. Frasch images we acquired in a particular year won't show patterns; after all, the postcards are purchased at different times from sellers all over the United States and occasionally from around the world. But it's interesting to see how our knowledge of Otto's work has grown over the years, and how many images we've been able to purchase at a time.

The number of images purchased continued to drop in 2008, despite wider searches on eBay. This seemed to confirm that we had acquired a large fraction of his work.

Topics on images acquired in 2008 include:

  • Seattle churches, schools, parks, and downtown buildings
  • Seattle street regrade projects
  • The Ballard neighborhood of Seattle
  • West Seattle
  • Ye Olde Curiosity Shop
