MORE KISER
"Fred Kiser’s photography helped promote national interest in the Crater Lake and Glacier National Parks. His scenic photos, hand-colored in oils and called “Artographs”, were produced as postcards and albums, and were also displayed in shows from coast to coast. He was also commissioned to create promotional photos for the Southern Pacific and the Spokane, Portland, Seattle and Great Northern Railways."
WORLD WAR I
Kiser’s Artographs of Montana’s Glacier National Park area helped gain Congressional approval to establish that site as a National Park in 1910. Kiser also served as Photographic Director during World War I for the Emergency Fleet Corporation’s Oregon Division.
