| Contextual Notes | Charles R. Savage and George Ottinger operated the Savage and Ottinger Studio in Salt Lake City, Utah between 1862 and the mid 1870's. Ottinger left the business to pursue acting and the photo studio was renamed Pioneer Art Gallery. Savage continued running the studio and traveled through Utah, California, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming photographing landscapes and documenting Native Amricans and pioneer life. In 1883 the Pioneer Art Gallery burned down, and many negatives were lost in the fire. Savage reopened the studio as the Art Bazar. Savage was also a mentor to several successful photographers including George Edward Anderson. He ran the studio until 1906 when his sons, Ralph and George Savage took over. He died in 1909 in Salt Lake City. |
