Go en Jan Kessler op de Basteibrug in Saksen c. 1910

This photograph, taken around 1910 by German photographer Hermann Johannes Kessler, depicts Go and Jan Kessler walking on the Bastei Bridge in Saxony. The image showcases a snapshot of family life and leisure in early 20th-century Germany. The bridge, with its stone walls and leafy surroundings, provides a picturesque backdrop for the figures, who are captured in a moment of casual, everyday activity. The photograph's intimate scale and focus on the figures suggest a personal, rather than a formal, portrait, highlighting the importance of family and personal memories in Kessler's photographic practice. This photograph exemplifies the genre of "snapshot photography" that was popular in the early 20th century.
