Nathan Stein was the younger brother of Simon. Although I am not related to the Stein family, I have two photographs taken by Nathan, so did a deep dive on him. The relationship is shown by Nathan and Simon's marriage records. "The photographer was Nathan Stein, an Austrian immigrant. In 1891, he was working at the studio of his elder brother, Simon Stein at 910 State St. By 1892 he has his own studio at 456 Mitchell St (on the corner of 2nd Ave). The photo says that it's the Stein's South Side Branch, so perhaps it was an offshoot of Simon's studio.
ReplyDeleteBy 1898, Nathan had moved his studio next door to 452 Mitchell St, because Albert Kunzelmann, who lived above the store at 458 Mitchell, created a storefront that encompassed 454-458 Mitchell." https://www.facebook.com/familytreetimemachine
Thank you! At your prompt, I have begun a complete revision of the Stein page. Any suggestions or examples are welcome! Email address is in the profile at the bottom of the page.
DeleteI am trying to date a portrait photograph in a folder with embossed PORTRAITS BY PHOTOGRAPHY in an oval around the name Stein in script. at the bottom of the oval is embossed 425 MILWAUKEE ST in small print and below that MILWAUKEE in larger print.
ReplyDeleteJulian Stein had a studio at 425 Milwaukee from 1922 to 1930. The folder you describe would be a format consistent with that same time period.
DeleteThank you. I see on the bottom border, Julian H Stein, which appears to be signed.
