Louis Conrad Rosenberg (1890-1983)

Louis C. Rosenberg returned to America from Europe to accept a commission from the Van Sweringen brothers. The contract called for Rosenberg to produce etchings of the construction of the Cleveland Union Terminal, including sites, demolitions, and buildings. The remuneration for this work was $2,000 per plate. Soon after Rosenberg had begun the 23rd plate, well into the Depression, the Vans terminated his contract.
