Photographer: Studio of Albrecht Meydenbauer (1834-1921). View from Jägerstr. to Charlottenstr. crossing, Potsdam. Circa 1900. Vintage gelatin silver print. 40 x 40 cm. Kgl. Pr. Messbild-Anstalt stamp, other stamps and annotated in pencil on the verso.

Messbild photographs are extremely accurate in their rendition of architectural detail; when the photograph is taken, the picture plane is 100% parallel to the object. Their accuracy allows architects to reproduce the true measurements of a building. – Oxidation mirroring in edges, some surface scuff marks, side edges curled, a few handling dents, a few small retouched spots, otherwise a tonal print in very good condition.
