Koppmann, Georg Views of Hamburg. 1881-84. 12 large-format albumen prints, mounted to board. Each ca. 23,5 x 31,7 cm (mounts ca. 32 x 40 cm). Each printed below the image: “Photographie von G. Koppmann & Co., Hamburg,” with a German title; dated in the print 1881, 1883 or 1884. Georg Koppmann was one of Hamburg’s foremost documentary photographers and recorded the city’s transformation into a modern port on behalf of the municipal building authorities. This exceptional group concentrates on the old waterfront quarter around Bei den Mühren, Kannegiesserort and St Catherine’s Church: narrow streets, timber-framed houses, crowded quays and the Binnenhafen are observed with remarkable clarity. Made shortly before extensive demolition and redevelopment of the Speicherstadt, the views preserve a substantial section of old Hamburg that has since disappeared. – Mounts with scattered foxing and soiling, occasional handling creases, edge wear and small corner losses; prints with some light surface scuffing and isolated small abrasions in the image areas, otherwise overall in good condition. Lit.: Will Keller. Hamburg in frühen Photographien, 1848-1888: Sammlung Bokelberg. Hamburg: Verlag der Sammlung Bokelberg, 1980.
