Comments:
Caroline Armington made three prints of the Dayton bridges (CA-325, 326 and 327).
Jane Reece (June 18, 1868 – June 10, 1961) was a highly acclaimed American pictorial photographer of the early 20th century. She lived most of her life in Dayton, Ohio and was active in the local, national and international photography scenes. During her 40-year career she exhibited in more than 100 photography salons and shows around the world, receiving many awards, prizes and honors. Reece is now recognized as one of Dayton's most prominent artists.
Between 1919 and 1923 Jane Reece traveled extensively, for a brief time setting up a studio in Paris in 1922.
During her stay in Paris, she made a portrait (photo) of Caroline Armington in 1922 (Also in the collection of the Dayton Art Institute).
She returned to Dayton in 1923 to open her fourth studio in the Chateau Apartments. In 1924 Jane moved into her fifth and last studio on Riverview Avenue which housed exhibits, concerts, and a music/dance studio.
