Beatrice Tonnesen Catalog

This Slideshow displays the most complete catalog of Beatrice Tonnesen’s works available. Only a handful were reproduced from glass negatives (film did not exist). Many of the images were reproduced from original prints. Other images were restored from calendars and newspaper inserts. New images are being added to the catalog as new source material becomes available.

These images comprise the digitized collection of the Winneconne, Wisconsin Historical Society holding produced by Beatrice Tonnesen. They are not Ms. Tonnesen's complete works. They are just a large portion of her works. Photos from WHS are shown, along with some companion prints from Lois' collection.

This album is a subset of Album 15 from the Winneconne Historical Society. It represents the images which were scanned on my second visit there. I did not have time to scan these images during the first visit.
