Polaroid Photo mounted into a folder as "A friendly reminder..."

National Food Distributors Association Convention
August 12-15, 1957; Chicago, Illinois
Lamp Division General Electric

In the upper left and right corner of the photo the smiling photographer ist reflected in the mirrors.

The Polaroid camera seems to be a Model 110 'Pathfinder'.

Does anybody know more about this event or about the photographer?

Intention

This blog is an online exhibition of an especial mirror photography motive. It is a freely resource for photo collectors, art historians or those who care in research. From the invention of this motive – named ‘Photo-Multigraph’ in the beginning about 1893 – it will show the rise and decline of these Fivefold-Portrait-Motive until today when only a few specialists know about it. If you do have a Fivefold-Portrait in your collection or in your family photo archive and want to support my ongoing research by adding it to this exhibition please contact me.
If you want to use these images please respect the rights and interests of other collectors. The material might be copyrighted. If possible I will always present my sources or arrange a contact to the owner.
