Frank M. Hohenberger (1876-1963) was a photographer of note, and author of newspaper articles, in Nashville, Indiana from 1917-1963. Hohenberger's work is indexed on-line at the Digital Library Program of Indiana University, Bloomington, where his prints and negatives are archived in the Lilly Library of rare books, manuscripts, and special collections. More information about Hohenberger can be found at the above link.
The photo at left is
also available through the
Lilly Library, where more of the pots on the wareboard above Karl's head
can be seen.
The photograph at left is of Karl Martz in 1938 or 1939.
This on-line scan comes from
a black and white print given to Karl by
the photographer, Frank M. Hohenberger, who also signed this print in tiny
pencil at the lower right (see signature enlarged below).
The photograph at left was apparently printed from a color negative,
since there is an
identical color image
(except facing to the left) at the Lilly Library.

Karl Martz at his kiln in the Pink House,
1938. Photo attributed to Frank M. Hohenberger.
In this photo, the kiln has not yet been fired.
The Lilly Library (see above) has a
photo of the same kiln stacked with the same pots after firing.
The pot at the lower left is similar to
a 1938 pot auctioned in December 2001.
Below are shown the contents of the kiln in more detail.
