The Trautvetter photograph taken in Aurich, Germany, in 1866 which I purchased on Ebay has made its way to me from France.
I have already written about the picture here--so that commentary won't be repeated.
The illustrations in this blog post are made from photographs that I took once the image had arrived.
I've still got some work to do in order to learn more about the Trautvetter man shown the photograph.
I don't have many pictures dating from the 1860s and this one is small, perhaps 1.5" by 3."
And it also survived several wars in Europe between 1866 and today.
