The Osmond Putnam photo collection at Union College and why it’s important for the Adirondacks – and Schenectady
Photo Caption: Clockwise from right: Jeanne Robert Foster, right, poses for Osmond Putnam’s camera with her two younger sisters, Cara and Fannette, outside their home near Johnsburg in the southern Adirondacks; Lucia Oliviere, then known as Lucy Oliver, posed for this Putnam photo with her husband, Frank, in Minerva in Essex County; and Jeanne Robert Foster, left, and her mother, Lucia Oliviere, sit outside their Albany Street home in Schenectady around 1915. While not part of the Osmond Putnam collection, it is a rare photo showing mother and daughter and is also part of the Union College archives. (Photos courtesy of Union College)
