Featured in this lot is this Lake McDonald Lodge photograph from Pennsylvania photographer T.J. Hileman. The hand tinted photograph shows a wonderfully and professionally crafted construction that shows the Lake McDonald with a resort on the left side of the lake and shows a forest at the base of a hill on the right with the dam in the center of the lake. The artist signature is shown in the bottom right hand corner of the photograph. T. J. (Tomar Jacob) Hileman (1882–1945) was an American photographer born in Manor Township, Armstrong County Pennsylvania, who is renowned for his photos of Glacier Park in Montana, and Blackfoot people. After working a while in Chicago and graduating from Effingham School of Photography there, he moved to Colorado and began to take photographs. In 1911, Hileman moved to Kalispell, Montana to open his own portrait studio. He and Alice Georgeson were the first couple to marry in Glacier National Park in 1913. Appointed the official photographer for the Great Northern Railway in 1924, Hileman took photos of Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada, moving bulky camera equipment by packhorse, even at times perching on a narrow ledge to get just the right image on film. He also photographed the Prince of Wales Hotel in Waterton, Alberta, which was built by the railway. In 1926, Hileman opened photo-finishing labs in both Glacier Park Lodge and Many Glacier Hotel, which were convenient for tourists who could drop off their film in the evenings and pick up their prints the next morning. The condition of this this framed hand painted shows no obvious signs of damage to the photograph and shows some wear to the frame due to age. The measurements of this framed photograph is 14 1/4" x 20 1/2" and the visible photograph measures 12 3/4" x 19".
