Discoveries

I found an interesting item on eBay for sale: a LG Bigelow photograph going for $1,500 taken at her studio @ 1915. I have any inquiry into the seller to see what information he has on it. Click on the link to see the photo, as I couldn't copy it from the eBay site. His description reads:

Lou Adelaide (Goodale) Bigelow: 1884-1947: one of the finest women studio photographers of the first half of the 20th century, preferred northern exposure, as did painters of the past, to capture the inner glow and intensity of her subjects through light and shadow. Daughter of Lyman Bigelow, well known photographer himself, Lou learned the profession early in life, In 1913 the Bigelows were invited by Roland Reed to take over his studio in Coronado CA. Thanks to the proximity of the Hotel del Coronado, the "rich and famous" winter guests flocked to her studio from 1913 through the 1940's. You can find more of her work in museums in New York.

I also found this photo from the San Diego Historical Society. The description reads, "Margot Rocle with her two sons James (left) and Antoine. 
Photograph by Lou Goodale Bigelow (c.1930)." These two finds were the result of someone leaving a comment on this blog, saying he is from Ronan, Montana, and he knows of the photographer LG Bigelow. LGB was, he said, well known for the photos of the 1912 fire in Ronan which destroyed most of the town.
