Description

Cabinet card showing the hospital at Fort Riley, Kansas. The image is faded, and is sepia-toned. The mat is beige. to the left of the image, on the mat, in typeset letters is "E.D. Zellner, Fort Riley Photographer Junction City Kansas." "14" is handwritten on the back of the mat. The picture shown from the website listed below states: "Converted artillery barracks, part of the 3,000-bed World War I base hospital, 1918." * However, due to the difference in landscape, this cabinet card must have been taken years earlier. *An Army Hospital: From Horses to Helicopters -- Fort Riley, 1904-1957 -- Concluded http://www.kancoll.org/khq/1958/58_1_omer.htm According to http://lostgallery.blogspot.com/2011/06/back-page-known-photographer-cabinet.html "According to most sources on the photographer E. D. Zellner, he lived and worked in Junction City, KS until at least 1880. At some point he partnered up with a person named Pennell and worked from Wakefield, KS. According to the Eighth Biennial Report of the Board of Directors of the Kansas State Historical Society, for the period of November 16, 1892 to November 20, 1984, Pennell and Zellner donated a number of photographs of Fort Riley and vicinity during that period. Here is an excerpt from the entry: "Pennell & Zellner, Junction City: Views in Fort Riley and vicinity, showing the Ogden monument; the old Pawnee territorial building; Comanche, long the only surviving horse of the Custer massacre; the administration, mess hall, and hospital buildings; interior of riding hall; view of target practice; hospital litter drill; mounted parade; Fort Riley avenue; interior of hospital lecture room." I have found photographs imprinted "Pennell and Zellner" and "Zellner and Pennell" and a couple just "Zellner". " For more information about E. D.
