The Gerothwohl–Tanner Jigsaw Puzzle
Original language description
One of the most extensive and at the same time the least researched area of the 19th-century photography is the itinerant photographer. The reasons are obvious: a minimum of sources, their fragmentary nature and inconsistency. A great example is the tandem of traveling portraitists Sigismund Gerothwohl and E. Tanner, who fundamentally influenced the development of photography on paper at the turn of the 1840s and 1850s in many European countries. Despite the renown they gained on their travels through the German states, Austria, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, France and elsewhere, the information we have about them today is very sketchy, often contradictory and in different countries clearly shaped by local or national perspectives. By connecting the different narratives the paper elucidates Gerothwohl and Tanner's roles in a more complex manner, and at the same time demonstrates the difficulties and potential of researching itinerant photographers of the mid-19th century across the European continent.
