For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource William J. Klauer Collection Description An account of the resource In May and June of 1912, two itinerant photographers arrived in Dubuque and began shooting the photographs that would become the Klauer Collection. For three weeks they traveled throughout the city with a large-format camera and a magnesium-powder flash lamp taking approximately 440 photographs of workers in factories, offices, shops, saloons and even the operating room at Mercy Hospital. We don't know the photographers' names, although they each posed as customers as needed, leaving us with several self-portraits. This type of workplace photography was not unusual in 1912 – itinerant photographers traveled the country photographing cities large and small. However, the fact that most of the glass negatives did survive together, intact for 100 years, is unusual. Itinerant photographers could not carry their solid glass plates with them and instead sold them to junk dealers who scraped the emulsion clean and resold them. Fortunately, the Dubuque photographers sold the plates to Peter Klauer, then President of Klauer Manufacturing Company, who stored them in one of his warehouses. In the 1970s, at least two sets of contact prints were made and in the 1980s, Peter’s grandson, William, donated a set of contact prints to the Center for Dubuque History. Later, 330 of the glass plates - all that remained - were also donated.

According to the Encyclopedia Dubuque (www.encyclopediadubuque.org), the foundry department of the Adams Company made a specialty of machine castings. This Dubuque foundry shop was the former manufacturer of Adams-Farwell automobiles. Between 1898 and 1907, the company, with the expert assistance of Fay Oliver Farwell superintendent and engineer, manufactured fifty-two Adams-Farwell automobiles, of which only one is still known to exist. The company continued to specialize in gear cutting, and early in the twentieth century developed and perfected an air-cooled rotary engine that proved crucial to the aircraft industry. The Adams-Farwell rotary engine was being manufactured for use in automobiles by 1901. The engine was extremely light and was ideal for vertical flight. Designed and built by the Adams Company in 1907, this engine powered three, man-lifting experimental helicopters that were flown in 1909 and 1910. Adams-Farwell engines powered fixed-wing aircraft in the United States after 1910.

Title A name given to the resource [Tavern, Mr. Bistram, bartender] Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Photographer unknown Description An account of the resource A bartender, dressed in a long-sleeved white shirt, dark vest, tie, and with a white apron wrapped around his waist, is standing behind a long bar, and in front of another counter. On the floor in front of the bar is a spittoon, and to the left of the counter is a glass display case of cigars, including John Morton, Marguerite, New York Special, Aroma, New Brunswick, Smokey Club, Old Fireside, Tom Keene, and others. The mirror behind the rear counter reflects the image of much of the room in front of the bartender. A customer is seen smoking a pipe. Various baskets, boxes and a fan sitting in an open window are also visible in the reflection. A large, glass-enclosed cabinet holding numerous bottles of liquor is standing near the rear of the bar. Hanging between the cabinet and the bar mirror are several photographs, including one of a sunken riverboat. A moose head with a plaque reading "Order of the Moose," is hanging from a column of the mirror frame. A cash register registering a five-cent sale is also visible. On either side of the register are posters for a riverboat excursion to take place on June 19. A document, possibly a liquor license, for the “Union Bar” hangs from the top of the mirror. Lights hang from the top of the mirror frame, including an advertising light promoting “Banquet in Bottles.” The number “321” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “1” is written in the upper left corner.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource William J. Klauer Collection Description An account of the resource In May and June of 1912, two itinerant photographers arrived in Dubuque and began shooting the photographs that would become the Klauer Collection. For three weeks they traveled throughout the city with a large-format camera and a magnesium-powder flash lamp taking approximately 440 photographs of workers in factories, offices, shops, saloons and even the operating room at Mercy Hospital. We don't know the photographers' names, although they each posed as customers as needed, leaving us with several self-portraits. This type of workplace photography was not unusual in 1912 – itinerant photographers traveled the country photographing cities large and small. However, the fact that most of the glass negatives did survive together, intact for 100 years, is unusual. Itinerant photographers could not carry their solid glass plates with them and instead sold them to junk dealers who scraped the emulsion clean and resold them. Fortunately, the Dubuque photographers sold the plates to Peter Klauer, then President of Klauer Manufacturing Company, who stored them in one of his warehouses. In the 1970s, at least two sets of contact prints were made and in the 1980s, Peter’s grandson, William, donated a set of contact prints to the Center for Dubuque History. Later, 330 of the glass plates - all that remained - were also donated.

Title A name given to the resource [Klauer Manufacturing employees in front of corrugated metal roofing machine] Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Photographer unknown Description An account of the resource Two men dressed in overalls, long sleeved shirts and caps, are standing in front of a large machine. A flat piece of metal appears to have just been pressed into a large, corrugated sheet. Numbers in white paint or chalk are visible on various parts of the machine which was manufactured by “J. M. Robinson Cincinnati O.” Electrical cables powering the machine, as well as a long belt drive and gears, are visible behind one of the men. A large stack of the corrugated metal sheets is visible in front of the men. The building is partially open to the weather and appears to have been constructed of the same corrugated metal that is being manufactured in this image.

The Encyclopedia Dubuque (www.encyclopediadubuque.org) indicates that in 1896, Klauer Manufacturing began making metal rain-carrying equipment including eave trough and rain pipe. By 1906 the company began the production of metal roofing and siding, conductor pipe, and eaves and by 1911 the company was supplying metal flume to some of the largest irrigation projects in the nation. The company added such products as metal fireproof window frames and sash, roof ornaments, skylights, steel ceilings, solder, asbestos paper and roof cement. At that time, the company was the world's largest manufacturer of conductor pipe.
