Vintage postcard by photographer Otto Hillig titled “Glen Falls, Parkston, N.Y.”

Glen Falls, Parkston, N.Y.

Parkston is a small hamlet located east of Livingston Manor in Sullivan County, New York. The postcard was never mailed.

The postcard was published by Otto Hillig, who can be considered one of the great photographers in Catskills history. Arriving from Germany in the United States as a poor teenage immigrant he took on a series of odd jobs before developing a prosperous photography business at his adopted hometown in the village of Liberty in Sullivan County, New York. He operated a well-regarded portrait studio in the village, extensively photographed the landscapes of the region and was considered an earlier pioneer of aerial photography.
