From the 1930s through the 1980s, a shy and somewhat reclusive amateur photographer named Lyle Oberwise devoted much of his spare time to documenting his adopted hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Over a period of nearly fifty years, Oberwise amassed a collection of 43,000 color slides depicting the city's architecture and its people, as well as their daily lives and celebrations. The Milwaukee County Historical Society created this selection of 150 carefully chosen images to bring his work to life.

reviewed Milwaukee at Mid-Century: The Photographs of Lyle Oberwise on November 25, 2008 Milwaukee at Mid-Century: The Photographs of Lyle Oberwise
If you like pictures of cities, especially older Midwestern/Rust Belt cities, this is a must-see. Lyle Oberwise took some 43,000 photos, mostly color slides, of Milwaukee over the decades, which were largely unknown until his death. This book collects about 150, mostly mid-century, of course. If you like beautiful old architecture (much of it now lost), streetcars, rails, neon signs, street scenes, etc., there's so much to enjoy here. I hope to see more of the collection. (I first noticed some of it on display at the new Amtrak/Greyhound station in Milwaukee.)
