DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL IN SOUTH CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

A sweet little girl and her father pose for their cabinet card portrait at the studio of photographer O. C. Jarmuth, in South Chicago, Illinois. The little girl has cute curls and the front of her dress has a couple of large ribbons. Note dad’s wire rim glasses. Otto C. Jarmuth was educated in photography in both Europe and in the United States. He had two galleries in Chicago and ran the Jarmuth School of Photography, which was located in the Central Music Hall building in Chicago. The school is mentioned in the Anthony Photographic Bulletin (1896).

      Otto Carl Jarmuth was one of my great great uncles as well. He had five brothers, and one, R.G. Jarmuth was one of my great-grandfathers. I’ve posted a picture of them on my Facebook page.

    O.C.Jarmuth is my great-uncle. My mother is a child of OC’s brother named John Albert Jarmuth. John AKA Jack lived in Hollywood and has credits for the film the “Jazz Man” with Al Jolsen. Jack did graphic art work largely for the silent movies at the time. I have a letter date 3/1949 from OCJ addressed to my mom and Helen

      Obviously your mothers family has the gene for art and creativity. I am happy that you were able to see your great uncles work at the cabinet card gallery.
