8666288 Beim Photographen / At the Photographer (colour litho) by German School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: Beim Photographen. Die altesten, nach dem Franzosen Daguerre Daguerrotypen genannten Photographien sind bald hundert Jahre alt. Vom Bildnisgemalde ausgehend, gelang den alten Photographen oft eine fur unser Gefuhl erstaunlich naturliche, schlichte Wiedergabe und Charakteristik. Erst die spatere Zeit brachte falsche Pose und gezwungene Steifheit, die uns heute oft lacheln lasst. Translation: At the Photographer. The oldest photographs, called Daguerrotypes after the Frenchman Daguerre, are almost a hundred years old. Proceeding from the portrait painting, the old photographers often succeeded in producing what we felt to be astonishingly natural, simple reproduction and characteristics. It was only later that false poses and forced stiffness that often makes us smile today.

The caption provides insight into the evolution of photography, highlighting how early photographers were able to achieve a natural and simple representation of their subjects, drawing inspiration from traditional portrait painting techniques. As time progressed, however, there was a shift towards more artificial poses and stiffness in photographs, reflecting changing trends and styles.

It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and artistic expression while also acknowledging the enduring appeal of classic photographic techniques.
