Herbert Hensky was a notable German photographer who became a prominent figure in the field during the mid-20th century. Known for his candid and evocative imagery, Hensky documented various facets of German society, ranging from everyday life in post-war Berlin to important political events. The images offered here show Wilhelm Pieck and Otto Grotewohl at the Vereinigungs-Parteitag between the East Berlin SPD and KPD. A variant of the image, showing Pieck and Grotewohl shaking hands, is in the collection of the Berlin DDR Museum. – Both prints with some backed tears in left edge, handling dents/creases, especially in right area, irregular ferrotype surface.
