Schmidt, Georg The Henkersteg in Nuremberg. Circa 1855. Lightly albumenized salted paper print, mounted on board and mounted on ink-ruled brown card. 26.8 x 26.3 cm. Annotated in pencil and with a collection stamp below the image on the mount. Trained as a painter in Nuremberg and Munich, Georg Schmidt opened a photographic studio in Nuremberg in 1846 and identified himself solely as a photographer from 1852 onward. His atmospheric city views, including this image and the following lot, rank among the earliest photographic records of Nuremberg. They combine a keen eye for the city’s historic fabric with the pictorial sensibility of a trained artist. – Mount slightly soiled; print with a few light spots in the upper sky area, minimal silver mirroring in the lower shadow areas, and a few light surface scuff marks; otherwise a print with strong tones in very good condition. Provenance: Simon Moritz von Bethmann (1811–1877), Ludwig Simon Moritz von Bethmann (1844–1902) Collection
