Olga Titzenthaler, echtgenote van de fotograaf, bij een kinderwagen op een balkon van het woonhuis in de Friedrichstrasse, Berlijn Possibly 1911 - 1919

This photograph captures Olga Titzenthaler, the photographer's wife, with a pram on their Friedrichstrasse home's balcony in Berlin. Waldemar Titzenthaler, active during a pivotal era of social change, presents us here with a poignant reflection on domestic life. The image invites consideration of women’s roles at the turn of the century. Confined to the domestic sphere, Olga's presence evokes both the tenderness and potential isolation of motherhood. The location of the house within an urban environment, evidenced by the chimney in the background, juxtaposes the intimate, personal space with the industrial world outside. The soft light and composition draw us into Olga's world, as if we are sharing a quiet moment in her day. Titzenthaler’s lens captures not just an image, but also a narrative of gendered expectations and the everyday experiences of women in a rapidly changing society.
