Art Dealer Diaries #398

Historic Kolb Studio

This is a very special place and the story is amazing. It really is a story made for a movie. In fact, I'm surprised it hasn't been made into one yet because it tells the story of these brothers that came to Arizona in 1901 and 1902, and they set up this photography studio, right on the edge of the Grand Canyon on the South Rim.
