Biography
Rocksch & Matthaey were a photographic partnership that specialized in portraiture. They utilized the oval format, a popular choice for portraiture in the 19th century. The images feature a stark contrast between the subjects and the background, a characteristic of early photographic processes. Their studio likely catered to a middle to upper-class clientele, as evidenced by the clothing and formality of the sitters. These portraits capture a glimpse into the lives and fashions of the era.
