Arthur and Thomas, the so called "live photographers", were able to capture these fantastic images in the period of 1915-1920, in the middle of the world war one. Their goal was to recover the image of an American identity at the time in which the United States entered this conflict in 1917.
The great dimension of this Project still assumes greater proportions by the philanthropist characteristic of its authors, that instead of prospering with the sale of the images produced, donated all their profit to the families of the soldiers who returned from the conflict and intended to redo their lives.

Bernard Katz has worked in glass since 1986. He is a graduate of Temple University's Tyler School of Art, where he majored in Fine Arts and specialized in Glass Blowing and Glass Sculpture. He also studied abroad at the West Surrey College of Art and Design in Farnham, England. Bernard then apprenticed for several years with well known glass artists such as Leon Applebaum, David Garcia and Samuel Bloom before going off on his own.
His etched designs are all original and usually involve botanical subjects, creating a naturalistic yet contemporary feel. These designs lend themselves to display in all settings, from artistic home decor to corporate office enhancements.
Bernard designs and executes each piece himself, combining modern equipment and ancient techniques. His shapes are created by hand blowing the molten glass into his 3 dimensional shapes which then become a canvas of glass unto which the final imagery will be etched.
