To say Schweinfurth was a perfectionist would be an understatement. To speak to the intensity of this man; once while inspecting a "decorative plaster frieze in a home" Schweinfurth quickly expressed his displeasure with the work.

Schweinfurth lost his vision in one eye because of the incident. | Creator: Decker & Edmondson | Date: ca. 1900 | Source: Cleveland Public Library Digital Photograph Collection | Rights: Copyright Not EvaluatedDownload Original File
