ANONYMOUS GERMAN PHOTOGRAPHER Die Brüder Stechow / The brothers Stechow, c. 1848

Quarter-plate daguerreotype, original wood frame Annotated “Sechs Brueder Stechow (Spandau). Original etwa aus d.J. 1848...Von Tante Edith Stechow 1929 erhalten” in an unidentified hand in ink on the reverse Das Adelsgeschlecht 'von Stechow' stammt aus Spandau, damals ein Vorort von Berlin. Da zu diesem Zeitpunkt lediglich nur an die neun Daguerreotypisten in Berlin gemeldet waren, sind frühe Aufnahmen aus dieser Gegend sehr selten. The aristocratic family 'von Stechow' originates from Spandau, once a suburb of Berlin. As there were only around nine registered daguerrotypists in Berlin at that time, early photography from this area is extremely rare.
