Does an on-line Chicago Portrait Gallery exist for finding paintings or photos of famous Chicagoans?
Here are a few answers. 1) This book might be available at your local library: Chicago portraits : biographies of 250 famous Chicagoans Sawyers, June Skinner, 1957- Publisher: Loyola University Press, Pub date: c1991. Pages: xv, 322 p. : ISBN: 0829407006 2) This site has a good list of more recent famous Chicagoans: http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/chicago/links/famous.html The links on that site try to point directly to the appropriate person on http://www.biography.com, but really end up on the search page. You can go from there though, and the few I tried include a decent picture. 3) www.earlychicago.com and http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org also have lots of pictures. Not as neat as you may want, but better than nothing!

One final note at the bottom, on the back of the portrait it also has E H Baese (art director).My Uncle Grant reportedly worked for the Chicago Portrait Company in the 1930s. He would travel around the country, taking photographs of people, and mailing the film to the Chicago Portrait Company. The company would mount the photos in large frames and return them to the customers.Today my mother gave me a portrait of her grand mother and father, Jacob and Kathern Braun, on the back stamped "CATHEDRAL DESIGN Design Patented June 24, 1924 Made and sold by CHICAGO PORTRAIT COMPANY" Looks like it was in a bubble glass frame. Written on the back with a crayon 2/3-2904.I just located two pictures - one of my grandparents, the other, my father when he was about 3 years old. Both frames have bubble glass and metal-like cathedral frames. No date is on the frames but they say Chicago Portrait Company- frame price $7.90. I believe the date to be in the 1920's somewhere.$7.90 was a big price in the 1920's. I have no other information.I too have an oval glassed portrait of my grandfather. On the other side is a portrait of an old man holding a sheep. The signature is ?? Carson. This is all I have. My gr.father was born in 1846 and died in 1926. The portrait is inside a unique bubble glass frame.I have a rare historical book on the corporate history of the Chicago Portrait Company, dated 1905. The information concerns the period 1893 - 1904 andfollows the corprate philosophy, purpose, structure, strategies, etc. It is leather bound, abot 6" by 11" and contains many photographs of personnel, Board Members, facility, equipment, transportion, etc.I have a beautiful waterfall print by W.A. Carson that also has 1924 Chicago Portrait Co. The portrait company got into some legal trouble with the IRS and federal trade commission around that time. They were in the business of enlarging photographs into portraits and misrepresenting them to be handpainted. There was also problems with their contracts and misstating revenue or something like that. Last week on eBay a buck print by W.A. Carson with a cathedral arched frame and convex glass (common for his prints) sold for $61. His original paintings are selling for $1500 and up.My grandfather always had a picture of himself hanging in his basement & I remember looking at it forever as a child. Now that he has been dead for 16 years, it is mine.

It too is a cathedral design Stamped "June 3d, 1934"Incorporated in 1893, by Thomas J. Ogara, Thomas J. Durkin, C.M. Stumcke. Address for many years at 590 Wabash, intersection of Wabash and Congress.
How can you contact the Chicago Portrait Company?
You might need to use a time machine. The most recent reference I could find was 1932. The State of Illinois was trying to disallow the company's deduction of taxes paid to a foreign government. Chicago Portrait Company won.
