312. Kodak Eastman Hawkeye No. 2a 'Carl Moon''

Carl Everton Moon (1879-1948) was an American photographer specialized in portraits of Native Americans. The camera, a Kodak Eastman Hawkeye No. 2a, bears his gold-stamped initials at bottom ('C.M.'), Moon's work is especially well known for the hand-tinting of his photographs known as "Lytrit work" which lent the images a delicate drawing-like quality and was a technique that was never attempted outside of such establishments as Sarony in New York. He sold many of his photographs to companies for advertising purposes, thereby popularizing his style, and his pieces were shown at the White House at the bequest of Theodore Roosevelt. It comes with an original 3" x 5" b/w image showing Moon standing on a rock with this camera in hand! The group is accompanied by some unusual paperwork pertinent to Moon's membership in the Masonic Park Lodge No. 449, F. & A.M. It comprises a typed D.S., 1p. 4to., certifying Moon's membership in the Lodge, dated "Eighth Day of December, A.L., 5924" from the office of G. E. Halderman in Pasadena, as well as a T.L.S. to Moon, 1p. 4to., on official Park Lodge letterhead, San Francisco, Sept. 1, 1946, confirming his membership and forwarding a September bulletin (included).
