- At the Edge of the Woods: Charles Heinrich Haushalter c. 1900–1907
- Description
- Unlike the polished studio portraits of the era, this image captures Charles Heinrich Haushalter (1880–1963) in his true element: the rugged periphery of the Idaho wilderness. Standing at the terminus of a logging road near the shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene, Charles wears the practical uniform of a woodsman—sturdy trousers, suspenders, and a wide-brimmed hat. The photograph carries a profound sense of place, anchored by family lore that identifies this exact spot through the memory of a friend. It serves as a visual testament to the years Charles spent navigating the timberlands of the West before the call of the family farm in New York brought him home.

"Nice of Bob Maclrae's (Dad's Idaho friend) pointed out the spot where Dad stood when this was taken (the end of the logging road, I believe)
John, Ed + June visit 199? 200?" written on back, perhaps in June's handwritting, as the word "June" is also scribbled in the same script in the bottom right corner on the back
