Where Warther Worked


Mr Warther worked at a steel mill 21 years but his splendid model took only 9 months. Note the big-ass trunk he used to lug it around! A "groganized" real photo, circa 1955. Grogan Photo was a Danville Illinois producer of real photos.

  1. He seems hypnotized by his own work - almost as if the little men were speaking to him.

  2. In the old days, some craftsmen who did very intricate, detailed work were known to use opiates to steady their hands. Maybe that made Warther wonky.
