Goetze Photographer Albertype Rare Original antique postcard – unposted . . . circa 1902 undivided back Definitely King Crabs! The Albertype Co, Brooklyn NY Photographer Otto Daniel Goetze was born in Missouri in 1871, one of twelve children born to German immigrant parents. After traveling and working in Walla Walla and Seattle, Washington, and in Oregon, Goetze and his brother followed the Gold Rush north in 1898. Goetze spent two years in Southeast Alaska before moving to Nome, where he established the Alaska Photo Company in a wall tent on Kester Way. For the next seven years, Goetze explored and photographed western Alaska and Siberia. In 1904, he visited St. Louis and photographed that city’s World’s Fair. In 1909, the Goetze brothers sold their Nome studio to the Lomen Brothers, who are well known for their early-20th century photography in western Alaska. Otto Goetze moved to Seattle, where he opened a studio called Scenograph with his new partner, Paul Dinison. Goetze was proprietor of the Alaska Photo Studio in Seattle from 1909-1912. He married in 1911 and had a daughter, Dorothy, in 1912. In 1914, the family moved to a farm in Cedar Valley; financial difficulties during the Depression forced him to sell the farm in the 1930s. He may have then moved to Monroe, Washington. The last known photographs attributed to O.D. Goetze are images of Seattle’s 1909 Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition.
