Terre Haute Photographers and Employees Pose for a Cirkut Photograph

Abstract

Martin Photo Shop of Terre Haute opened for business in 1906. Nearly all of the Martin Cirkut negatives were made using the six-inch Cirkut camera. Notice that some of the same people appear at both ends of the picture. This was common in Cirkuts. The photographer took the first half of the group, then while resetting the camera for the second half, people would run over to the other end of the group and pose again
