Description

Quite simply a superb antique photograph showing House Movers of P.Muth & Sons of Columbus,Ohio. This is the earliest known photograph of this firm picturing Peter Muth and his sons Eugene and Jerome Muth. In 1892, Peter allowed his sons Eugene and Jerome to take over the daily operations of the business.

Can you imagine how back- breaking this business was moving heavy Victorian furniture in these typical gothic two- story and an attic houses?


This
original image dates from the 1890's and measures 8' 1/2 x 11 inches

Abstract: I have copied a listing from the Columbus,Ohio historical photos to show you what the business looked like in 1919.
