Wanda von Debschitz-Kunowski was one of the founding members of the "Deutscher Künstlerbund" (German Artists Association) in 1903, where she played a crucial role in promoting photography as a legitimate art form alongside painting and sculpture. Alongside her husband, Adolf Debschitz, she taught at the "School of Photography" in Munich, shaping the discourse around photography and its creative potential. – Some with bumped corners, some with mirroring in edges/corners, otherwise in good to very good condition.
