Photographer: Emil Bieber (1878-1962). Portrait of Theodor Fontane. 1894. Vintage collodion print. 15 x 10,5 cm. Date stamp "1899" in lower right corner, mounted to board.

This portrait by Emil Bieber shows the novelist and poet Theodor Fontane, who died in 1898, in his final years. Likely taken in 1894, it is considered one of the last photographic likenesses of Fontane and reflects his established public persona at the end of a prolific literary life. The image captures the quiet dignity and introspection often associated with the author of Effi Briest and Der Stechlin.

– In very good condition.
