Puck, Charles C.

Charles Puck resided in Los Angeles for many years and worked in the city as a postal employee. From 1914 until 1958, Puck took photographs across the state of California, concentrating on buildings, monuments, civic happenings, modes of transportation, flora and fauna, images of construction, demolition, and both human and natural disasters. He made systematic visual surveys of anything that fell within these broad categories. Puck donated his collection of photographs to the Historical Society of Southern California beginning in 1948 through 1969.
