OREGONSCAPE.

This article from the Oregon Historical Quarterly discusses the work of photographer Al Monner, who documented mid-twentieth-century Oregon life through his job as a photojournalist for the Oregon Journal and the Oregonian. Monner's photographs captured a wide range of subjects, including local politics, festivities, and national news events. One notable photograph from 1946 features Floyd W. Osgood and his spaniel dog, Musical Sue, who was trained to play tunes on a musical instrument made from milk bottles. Monner's extensive collection of photographs, which includes over 40,000 images, is now held in the OHS research library, with a selection of over 3,600 photographs available digitally on OHS Digital Collections.
