jcgoodman Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 About 20 years ago, a friend of mine found three mounted photographs in a shop in Germany. Recognising a "Leica" look in the photos, and knowing that I was using old Leica cameras at that time, he bought the prints and sent them to me. Here is one of them, a view of Breslau. On the back of the mount is printed (I'll translate): "Published by Photographia Wetzlar. Exposure: Dr. Paul Wolff & Tritschler, Braunfels" Print size is 106mm x 157mm. Leica not actually mentioned, but I like to think the picture was made with a Leica + Elmar 5cm lens.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_franklin Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Thanks John, Tritschler would appear to be one Alfred Tritschler, who was a partner of Wolff. Googling for his name brought this up, which may interest you - http:// www.imagere.com/paulwolff/paulwolffbibliography.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_kaplan1 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Nice find! The perspective in the first photo looks more like it was shot with a 35mm lens than a 50mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoodman Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Yes, Al - that first shot does look rather "35-ish". Here is the third print :<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_franklin Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Nice pictures. They all look 35mm rather than 50 to my eye. Thanks again John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kparratt Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Then a year and a bit after this posting, it is stumbled upon by the very one who found these and sent them to you. Me. It's nice to see them again. I've often thought of going back to the same place I found them to search for more. He did have some, but with limited pocked money at the time, I selected these for 5 DM each. Cheers, Kevin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis_v1 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 <p>Hello,<br> I recently came across a old German book with around 400 photo negatives of Germany during the 1920's, 30's and 40's of scenic, urban and street photo's. Some are during the third reich. The photo's look so similiar to the above photo's of Dr. Paul Wolff's but I have no way of telling who took the photo's. I've searched and searched to find the photographers identity but with no luck. I have scanned all the negatives and put them on disc. I would love help from anyone as to possibly identifing the photographer. I can send the photo's to anyone interested. I can be reached at <a href="mailto:natureboy1956@hotmail.com">natureboy1956@hotmail.com</a>. These are very good quality clear negatives. They look professionaly done.</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
