This is an original hand tinted photograph by T.J. Hileman (American, 1882-1945) of Red Rock Falls in Glacier National Park in Northwest Montana. The photograph is marked in the photograph “© HILEMAN” and shows the smooth waters of Red Rock Falls in Glacier National Park with the towering peaks in the distance. The circa 1920’s photograph is hand tinted and is hand written on the back in graphite “Red Rock Falls”. T.J. Hileman (1882-1945) moved to Kalispell, MT in 1911, opening his own portrait studio, after graduating from Effingham School of Photography in Chicago, Il. There he met Alice Georgeson; in 1913, they were the first couple to have been married in Glacier National Park. In 1924, Hileman became the official photographer for the Great Northern Railway. He is very well known for his scenic photographs of the park as well as for his portraits of the Blackfoot Indians of the area. This early piece by Tomar Jacob Hileman show a beautiful image with amazing hand tinted color in good condition, small fold at top left and bottom left but overall good. Measures 10 1/16” by 6 1/16”.
