Lute and Tattie in Europe

The youngest daughter of George and Lute Bauer, Katherine (Tattie) showed exceptional talent as a violinist. In 1907 she traveled to Germany to further her study of the violin. Her mother Lute accompanied her chronicling their year in Berlin in letters home. Tattie was married to a doctor from Canada but died prematurely as a newlywed. The Bauers and Raffenspergers were devastated by her death.


Lute Bauer was a photographer as well as poet. These photos were taken during 1907 when she accompanied daughter Katherine (Tattie) to Eurpoe. Tattie may have excelled as a young violinist, but romantic wardrobe and the size of her waist are also worth noting!
