  • Comment: This means that we have to disambiguate two photographers named E.W. Moore. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:27, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
The other one is not notable but we can certainly point to the article on the site where he's mentioned. FloridaArmy (talk) 02:31, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

E.W. Moore was a painter, photographer, and gallery owner[1][2] in the United States.

Moore came to Hoquiam, Washington in early 1918. He was the brother of O.M. Moore, proprietor of the Hoquiam Record.[1][2] He worked at Frank G. Abell's photography firm before eventually taking it over when Abell moved on. The Portland Art Museum has his photograph of Susan Whalley Allison in their collection.[3]

He was a captain.[4]

In 1897 he was contracted to paint a portrait of Oregon governor William Paine Lord to hang in the Oregon State Capitol in Salem.[5] He was also contracted to paint governors Frank W. Benson and Jay Bowerman.[6] He was also contracted to paint former governor Ben W. Olcott.[7] He was also contracted to paint Samuel Benn, a pioneer of Aberdeen, Washington.[2] He was also contracted to do a posthumous painting of Seattle newspaper editor Col. Alden J. Blethen.[8]

He photographed John C. Robertson.

Moore worked for Frank G. Abell before eventually taking over his photographic studio.[9][10]
