Vintage Catskills postcard by photographer Otto Hillig of the countryside around the hamlet of Fremont Center in Sullivan County, New York.

Fremont Center, N. Y.

This vintage postcard titled "Fremont Center, N.Y." was published by Otto Hillig. It was never mailed.

Otto Hillig 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.
