Ernst Peterson (1912-1991) Began photographer as a hobby when he received a Best pocket camera at the age of fourteen. It was not until the end of World War II that Ernst, or "Ernie" as his friends called him, began taking his hobby seriously. Peterson began marketing his photos of the West, and his first client was his native state of Montana. Although many photos were used without his byline, he slowly developed a far-reaching reputation. His real break came in 1953 when he was discovered by the editors of National Geographic, Colliers, The Saturday Evening Post, and Country Gentlemen soon followed. Major calendar companies sought his work, and corporations like Anaconda Company, Dow Chemical, and Montana Power Company used his photos for advertisements and year-end reports. Mike Roberts (1905-1989) is famously known as America's Postcard King due to his impressive career in color photography and printing that spanned more than 50 years. He began working in a photo studio in San Bernardino when he was young and had the opportunity to photograph figures like Albert Einstein and Amelia Earhart. He also photographed scenes from the 1939 World's Fair in San Francisco to be published in The Saturday Evening Post, Fortune, and Life and was later commissioned to take color photographs for a Standard Oil marketing campaign after WWII with the idea that color photos would be given to people who were filling their cars up with gas so they would want to take trips to the places in the photos, using more gas. Mike's son, Bob Roberts, said that his father had a bunch of photographs left over from the commission and decided to turn them into postcards. Please review the photos carefully for condition and detail. Normal wear associated with an old postcard have creases, corner bumps, scratches, ink on the front etc.
