Description: Employees posing with mannequins outside S. Lazarus Sons & Co. at 6 North High Street in Columbus, Ohio, ca. 1885-1886. Employees include Joseph M. Parks, Joseph H. Parsons, Abe B. Cohen, Lewis E. Valentine, Frank Espy, Fred Lazarus, Sr., David M. Clinger, Charles Link, and Charles Hoover. This store was a Lazarus branch managed by Abe B. Cohen, a son-in-law of Simon Lazarus. Between 1851 and 1965, the F & R Lazarus Company retail store dominated the trade and physical landscape of Columbus. The company rose from its early years as a men's clothier in a 20 x 40 foot room downtown, to its position by 1965 as a member of the largest department store chain, Federated Department Stores. Lazarus' growth reflects that of the capital city; from small beginnings through a "golden age" of downtown development, and eventually branching out into the surrounding countryside. In 2003, the Lazarus Company was incorporated with Macy's, a member of the Federated Department stores, and is no longer View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Posed photograph showing two men in the office of what appears to be a pharmacy. They look together at a page from a prescription pad, and on the shelves behind them are numerous compounds, tinctures, and medicine bottles. A majority of the bottles come from the Columbus Pharmacal Company, while others are produced by Parke E. Davis and Co. This photograph was taken by traveling photographer Albert J. Ewing, ca. 1896-1912. Like most of Ewing's work, it was likely taken in southeastern Ohio or central West Virginia. Born in 1870 in Washington County, Ohio, near Marietta, Ewing most likely began his photography career in the 1890s. The 1910 US Census and a 1912-1913 directory list him as a photographer. A negative signed "Ewing Brothers" and a picture with his younger brother, Frank, indicate that Frank may have joined the business. After 1916, directories list Albert as a salesman. He died in 1934. The Ewing Collection consists of 5,055 glass plate negatives, each individually housed and numbered. Additionally, the collection includes approximately 450 modern contact prints made from the glass plate negatives. Subjects include infants and young children, elderly people, families, school and religious groups, animals and rural scenes. In 1982, the Ohio Historical Society received the collection, still housed in the original dry plate negative boxes purchased by Albert J. Ewing. A selection of the original glass plate negatives were exhibited for the first time in 2013 at the Ohio Historical Center. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This is a portrait of journalist and author William Dean Howells, seen with his wife Elinor (Mead) Howells in Venice, Italy, where he served as U.S. Consul, ca. 1862-1865. Howells was born on March 1, 1837, in Martinsville (now Martins Ferry), Ohio. By his early 20s, Howells had become a newspaper reporter; he also began to write poetry and published his first collection in 1859. The Atlantic Monthly also began to publish his literary work, and Howells' reputation grew quickly. In 1860, the Republican Party selected him to write a biography of their presidential candidate, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln won the election of 1860 and rewarded Howells by appointing him the United States Consul to Venice. Howells remained in this position until 1865, when he returned to the United States and became an editor with The Atlantic Monthly. Howells became a well-known novelist during the late 19th century, publishing his first novel, "Their Wedding Journey," in 1872. He authored 35 novels over the next fifty years, as well as numerous short stories, plays, and poems. Howells was the first president of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He died on May 11, 1920. View on Ohio Memory.
