Administrative/Biographical History:
E. O. (Eugene Omar) Goldbeck, born 1891 or 1892 in San Antonio, Texas, was a well-known
photographer specializing in panoramics and military photography. In 1921 he established the
National Photo Service, the first and only independent news-photograph supplier headquartered
in Texas. He employed several photographers to assist him in canvassing the country recording
groups and events, and the company prospered. Goldbeck began providing motion-picture
footage to newsreel companies in the 1930s and renamed his company National Photo and
News Service.¹ He died in 1986.
