We found an original 1926 photo of Oro Valley completed by Irwin Studios and created a high res (36 x 24) canvas print for fellow residents to enjoy. This really is a beautiful item and we stand by the quality! It is ready to hang with a sturdy canvas delicately stretched around a wood frame. We have the black/white option and hand colored original to choose from.
“William Edward “Ed” Irwin (1871-1935) was a photographer active in Indian Territory, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, as well as other places in the American West, circa 1893-1935. He had two brothers who also worked as photographers, John Allison Irwin (1869-1942), and Marvin Elmore Irwin (1881-1961). Around 1895, he became partners with S. Jack Mankins (1871-1910), and they operated a photography studio, Irwin & Mankins, also known as the Blue Tent Gallery, in Chickasha, Indian Territory, until 1903, as well as studios in Duncan, Indian Territory, and Richmond, Texas. In 1903, Ed Irwin also operated the Irwin-Walk Studio in Lampasas, Texas. In 1904, he briefly operated a studio in Silver City, New Mexico, and in the same year he started operating a studio with his brothers in Bisbee, Arizona. In 1922, Ed moved his studio to Douglas, Arizona, and operated it until his death.”
