A Look Back

G.D. FRONABARGER ~ Southeast Missourian archive

This photograph of a man and his possum is among the hundreds of unidentified photographs by G.D. Fronabarger in the Southeast Missourian archive. All we know about the subjects in this photo is from this dictionary entry for the critter: “A tree-dwelling Australasian marsupial that typically has a prehensile tail.” Fronabarger’s work spanned the 1930s to 1960s.
