Louis Van Oeyen Collection 1902-1921

http://rave.ohiolink.edu/archives/ead/OHi0017

The collection is comprised of 124 glass plate negatives created by photo journalist Louis Van Oeyen. Subjects found in the collection include Cleveland, Ohio buildings; automobiles and automobile racing; and professional baseball. Prominent people pictured in the collection are Ohio politician Theodore E. Burton; brewer Adolph Busch; Ohio Governor Myron T. Herrick; Cleveland Mayor Tom Loftin Johnson; race car driver Barney Oldfield; industrialist John D. Rockefeller; Theodore Roosevelt; and automobile manufacturer Alexander Winton. Glass plate negatives of a letter from General William Tecumseh Sherman to General Ulysses S. Grant and a letter from President Abraham Lincoln to Mrs. Wall were presumably created in the time frame of the rest of the collection, though the original letters were written 1864-1865.
