Monument 1871 - 1885

"Monument" is a black and white photograph of a sculpture by F. Jamrath und Sohn, dating back to 1871-1885. The photograph depicts a standing figure of a man in a long coat, holding a scroll in his left hand and gesturing with his right. The sculpture is likely a portrait of a prominent figure from the era, captured in a formal and dignified pose, echoing the classical traditions of portraiture. The photograph, with its sharp details and high contrast, showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the sculpture, capturing its three-dimensionality within the two-dimensional medium. This piece is a valuable historical artifact that provides a glimpse into the artistic practices and cultural sensibilities of 19th-century Germany.
