“Harry Robbins Pottenger (1874–1923) was born in Fairfield, OH; moved to Wichita at 13; learned photography at an early age; opened his own studio by 20. During the early 20th century, photography was still thought of as more of an art/entertainment form than a profitable biz. Pottenger sought to change that, contending photographers could achieve higher profits by focusing on quality > quantity. He argued consumers would rather pay more for superior photographs than less for mass-produced works of inferior quality. Pottenger personally oversaw every aspect of his business, from sittings to finishing, and always used Artura prints for his portraits. An Artura print emulsion masterfully preserved the quality of the negative, thereby uncompromisingly representing the photographer's vision.”
