Approved biography for George C. Poundstone
(Courtesy of Christian Peterson)
George Corwin Poundstone was born on February 14, 1870, in Chicago, where he, apparently, spent his entire life. In 1902, he graduated from the dental school of Northwestern University, where he subsequently taught for seventeen years. He served as president of the Chicago Dental Society and in 1925 traveled around the world.
Poundstone exhibited in pictorial salons from the early 1920s until his death in 1938. Among the American cities where he showed were Buffalo, Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Pittsburgh, Princeton, Rochester, San Diego, San Francisco, and Wilmington. Foreign salons included Antwerp, London, Madrid, Ottawa, Paris, Prague, Tokyo, and Turin. His most prolific season was 1933-34, when thirty-four juries accepted over ninety of his prints. In 1933, a one-person exhibition of his work was seen at both the Chicago Camera Club and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
