Description

Cabinet card showing a group standing outside on a porch, possibly at Fort Riley, Kansas. "Zellner Photographer Junction City, Kansas" is typeset on the mat on the left side. The sepia-toned image is mounted on a beige mat. "20" is handwritten on the back right side. 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". "
