…still caring after all these years.
Big VELOX contact print from a 1930ies glass negative. Grandmother’s resignation, juvenile gratitude and childlike unconcern, all of this banned in front of a rusty iron fence stuck into a crumbling concrete mount. Could be located in Interbellum Vienna. Respect goes out to this photographer.
This mid 1920ies silver gelatine print shows an obviously experienced grandmother amongst her three grandchildren. Compare the left girl’s face with granny’s one – nice.
Early Agfa Lupex contact print showing a typical Carinthian Rauchküche (kitchen with open fireplace). Three generations stand together on this image when a meal is prepared in a huge wrought iron pan. The girl does not seem to know what is going on, her mother and grandmother are aware of being imaged. The image is labed “Eine alte sogenannte “Rauchküche” am Sonnberg | Stall, 13.08.1933″. Should be Republic of Austria | State of Carinthia | District of Spittal an der Drau | Community of Stall | Village of Sonnberg. Really nice portait of rural Carinthia and its traditional costume. This is one to behold.
This small albumen print shows a travelling kid accompanied by probably its mother or its grandmother. The print is lettered: “Elbeschiff Dresden-Pillnitz, 1917”. Means this print shows a steamboat on the river Elbe between Dresden and Pillnitz, Germany near the Austro-Hungarian border.
