A self-trained archaeological historian of the classical period, Koldewey was signed on as a participant to the American excavation expedition under Joseph Thacher Clarke of Ancient Assus in Greece in 1883, where he learned excavation methods and how to recover ancient remains. The German Archaelogical Institute then employed him for various excavations in the Ottoman Empire. His most important work involved the excavations in Babylon from 1898-1917 where his most significant excavation was the Processional Way and the Ishtar Gate as well as the foundations of the Tower of Babylon. Along with Schliemann, Humann, Conze and Dörpfeld, Koldewey is among to the most important archaeologists of this era. – Edges slightly frayed, small retouched scratch, liquid surface spot in right area, otherwise a rich tonal print in very good condition.

Lou Levi was born in Cologne in 1897, where she grew up with her two sisters Stefani and Bella. At the age of 26, in 1923, Lou married the lawyer Georg Landauer (1895-1954), later a prominent Zionist politician. After her marriage and education at the Commercial Academy in Cologne in 1924, Lou Landauer developed an interest in photography and enrolled at the Staatliche Fotoschule in Munich, where her name appears on the 1928/29 student list. In 1930 she moved to Berlin, where she continued her studies in photography, possibly at the Lette-Verein. In 1934, she and her husband emigrated to Palestine with her parents. Lou Landauer first worked as a press photographer for the Jüdische Rundschau, which was still published in Berlin at the time. In 1942, she began working as a teacher at the Bezalel Hechadash, the new arts and crafts school in Jerusalem, where she taught courses in the department of artistic photography.
In 1949 Landauer went to the USA to make a new start. There she worked as an advertising photographer for various magazines and experimented with the technically complicated three-color Carbro process. In the 1950s, she seems to have given up professional photography altogether and worked as an assistant librarian at the Leo Baeck Institute in New York. – Some light handling marks, one print with slight buckling in edges, otherwise in very good condition.
