JOHN GLANDER
Glander was born in Germany [Woldenburg, Kries Regenwalde, Pomerania, Prussia] in 1887, and at age 5 made the long and dangerous journey across the Atlantic Ocean to America. His difficult childhood continued when his father passed away at the age of 39, leaving behind his widow, Clara, his eldest son John, 15, and five younger children.
Upon his father's death, Glander left high school to become a photographer's apprentice under A.J. Packard. By 1908, Glander opened his own studio at 904 Washington St. in Manitowoc. His business expanded quickly and resulted in the construction of a new, two-story brick building to house his studio and framing shop. The building remains part of downtown Manitowoc at the corner of Ninth and Washington Streets.
The Glander studio was a family affair, with John's brother William joining the business, and eventually John's son Henry joined as well.
The studio was well known for its quality work and produced a number of notable images. Glander's portrait of Robert Lafollette was used during his campaign for governor of Wisconsin.
The studio photographed submarine launches in Manitowoc, documented the construction of the car ferry City of Midland and were pioneers in the use of 35mm movies, recording a number of films for businesses such as the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing Co. and National Tinsel Co.
The Glander studio also recorded everyday life in Manitowoc County, capturing images of families, school classes, athletic teams, bands, politicians and community events. Some of the more interesting images are panoramic pictures taken with a Cirkut camera, patented in 1904.
