Coquille, John Hypolite Martin Behrman Album
Date range: ca. 1910
Photographs taken of a typical day in the life of Mayor Behrman by John Hypolite Coquille, a staff photographer for the
Times-Democrat. Originally placed in a photograph album, the photographs were removed and mounted by
Louisiana Division Staff. The captions were transcribed from the album.
Each original print was scanned at 500 dpi and saved as a 2000 pixel TIFF. The TIFF archival masters were edited to produce 600 pixel JPEG images. Click on a number in the table below to view the JPEG for that image.
Additional photographs from the Behrman administration can be found in the Municipal Government Collection. |
