Antique Studio Photo of a Group of Soldiers, Köln-Deutz

Recommended Posts

A very old studio photo, dating between 1871 and 1889, hard to estimate. A group of soldiers in walking-out uniform of one of the regiments within the VIII. Armee-Korps. Photo is very much faded, and some of the emulsion has migrated in places as the upper middle edge, which does not detract from the image as a whole. Mounted on hard cardback with decorative print as a frame, damage to corners.
Printed name of studio on left and right below:  Carl Scholz Photograph, Köln-Deutz, Freiheitstr. 64. This could be the forerunner of Photo Scholz in Wandsbek. This photo came from the archive of Photo-Atelier Mercedes Riedel in Wandsbek.

Image would require some digital restoration. The original photo is also in need of some attention.

Image has now been lightly worked on.
