About the author
Little is firmly documented online about Bertram Lebhar as a person, but his books survive through library and public-domain records. He wrote adventure fiction in the early 1900s, and The Presidential Snapshot; or, The All-Seeing Eye was published by Street & Smith and is now available through Project Gutenberg.
That novel presents him as the author of other snapshot-themed adventures, suggesting he wrote in the brisk, serialized style popular with pulp and popular-fiction readers of the era. The surviving catalog records connect his name with action-driven stories involving danger, disguise, and political plots.
Because reliable biographical sources are scarce, many personal details about his life remain unclear. What can be said with confidence is that his work belongs to the energetic tradition of early American popular fiction, where cliffhangers, bold premises, and inventive storytelling were the main attraction.
