Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Burton Frasher Sr. (1888-1955) started his commercial photography business in Lordsburg (now La Verne) California in 1914, but later moved it to Pomona in 1920. He traveled the west extensively ranging from California and the Southwest northwards to Oregon, Washington and Alaska. Frasher is known for his 1920s and 1930s “Frasher Fotos” postcard views of the Southwest, which depict a variety of subjects from Native American life to shots of civic buildings in Southwestern towns. By the late 1930s, Frasher’s business was so successful that he hired additional photographers to capture new scenes as well as advertise and sell postcards. Frasher passed away in 1955 having been one of the most prolific photographers of the Southwest during his era.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
This collection contains 250 postcards that focus on Native American life in Arizona, Utah, and Colorado mostly during the 1930s. Frasher’s postcards include shots of Navajo, Apache, Acoma Pueblo, Taos Pueblo, and Hopi tribes. These photographs are useful to those interested in Native American art and craftwork, as they show images of sand art, basket and rug weaving, and doll and jewelry making. These postcards also give a snap shot of Native American livelihoods at the beginning of the twentieth century and demonstrate how Anglo-American culture represented Native American societies. Also included are images of towns, trading posts, reservation buildings, and Native American pueblos.
