[Photographie] Portrait photographique de Richard Wagner

Original cabinet card format photograph. Gelatin silver bromide print retouched with pen.
Photograph mounted on rigid card. Bruckmannn's portrait collection Nr. 180. Friedrich Bruckmann in Munchen. Trace of a fold at the upper right corner, in the margin. Silver points around the portrait which indicate an early printing and not a later reprint, as in later printings this photograph was retouched to erase the grain.
Friedrich Bruckmann (1814-1898) was a German publisher and photographer who specialized in artist photography and had an extensive catalogue.
Fine print, skillfully retouched with pen.
