Estate sale find, vintage original Chemistry Lab Photo Sangamon College Pleasant Plains IL by Herbert Georg Studio, circa 1920s. One the back is marked Jimmy and Larry Larson.
Sangamon College was a short-lived venture created in Pleasant Plains by educators John L. Scott and Hugh M. Curry with the help of a dozen local investors.
Most of the financial backers were from the Pleasant Plains area, but they also included Ben F. Caldwell of Chatham, who helped fund a number of schools in rural Sangamon County.
Herbert Georg, one of the finest photographers Springfield has ever known, began his career in his father\'s studio, which had been established in Springfield around the turn of the last century.
In 1923, Georg launched his own studio and began building a sterling reputation based on the diversity of his subjects, the high and uncompromising standard of quality he demanded, and a prolific body of work.
Although primarily known as a portrait photographer, Georg (1893-1964) was also one of the best commercial photographers of his time.
Springfield businesses both large and small engaged him as their official photographer. His work documents the buildings, products, employees, and progress of those companies for which he worked over the years.
