These rare images are the work of J.R. Eike, a local photographer. At least one photo was taken by a A.F. Eike, presumed to be a brother. From 1914-1917, the Eike's captured over a hundred images across St. Louis. In addition, Eike was a photographer for St. Anthony School and Church so there are a few images of school children and Church functions. Thankfully, although these images were almost thrown away by a previous owner, Thomas Kempland saved them from such a fate and has generously made them available here. Note: These images are copyrighted and are NOT public domain. They are not to be used for any publication outside this webpage without the owner's permission. See also Thomas Kempland and the J.R. Eike Glassplate Discovery.
