A dignified portrait of a man with an imposing moustache and bow tie, photographed in the famous studio of J. Langhans in Prague . The soft lighting and subdued background typify Langhans' signature style: understated elegance combined with technical perfection. As an Imperial-Royal Court Photographer ( Ku-K Hof Photograph), Langhans portrayed the bourgeoisie, artists and officials of the then Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The back of the card is richly decorated with its characteristic green print full of medals and awards — a true work of art in itself.
Technique: Albumen photo on cardboard ( cabinet card ) Dimensions: approx. 16.5 × 10.8 cm Condition: Good; light signs of age, small stains commensurate with age Origin: Prague, Czech Republic
The Langhans company was founded in 1870 and grew into one of the most prestigious photographic studios in Central Europe, with offices in Prague , Marienbad and Vienna . This portrait shows not only an individual, but also the self-awareness of an era when photography was a symbol of status and progress.
