A member of the Cleveland Photographic Society, amateur photographer Charles Chamberlin ran a camera store in Cleveland, OH in the 1920’s. Known as the Kamera & Kraft Shoppe, they advertised: “Kodaks, Picture Framing, Developing and Printing – All Work Done on Premises.” Chamberlin was assisted by his wife Orilla Birdell Churchill Chamberlin (1874-1961) who apparently hand-colored customer photographs, including this amateur showing a brook in late spring or early summer.
