    Information about the print:
    Alfred S. Campbell Art Company was originally founded by Alfred S. Campbell (English-American, 1840-1912) who was an English art photographer and commercial inventor. He moved to Elizabeth, New Jersey, where he built his state-of-the-art studio, which had an onsite photo imaging production facility, initially calling it ‘Campbell Studios’. Campbell's patented “Art-Relievo” platinum photographic prints, which were 3-dimensional photographic reproductions in 'absolute relief' (embossed), sold in the late 1890's through the early 1900's (c1896-c1904). Campbell reproduced various master works that included Native American Indian portraits/scenes, by way of the Art Relievo process.
    Information about the advertising/company:
    The Hirth-Krause Company was established in 1883 and
    originally sold leather, buttonhooks, lacing, and soles at wholesale, and purchased finished shoes for retail sale.
    . In 1903 the Hirth-Kraus leather and hide company began a shoe factory in Rockford, Michigan. The shoes produced were called Rouge Rex Shoes, identified by a trade mark of an Indian in feathered headdress. In 1966 the name was changed to Wolverine World Wide, Inc.
