The man is identified on the back in period writing: Fritz Kuehn (period writing, but hard to decipher!). This was a stock backdrop for Peterson as can be seen in his other photographs. Conrad Petersen's photographic gallery was located over Hermes Drug Store, a two story wooden frame building on the northeast corner of the square. He was mentioned in the La Grange Journal's January 27, 1881 survey of La Grange businesses. Born in Germany ca 1839, Petersen immigrated in 1853. His obituary states that he arrived in La Grange in 1861 and he married Hermine (Minna) Locke there in 1874, having opened his photography studio about two years earlier. His only son, Leo Petersen, born ca 1879, also worked as a photographer in La Grange and kept his father's photography gallery open after his death in 1914.
