Early views of Nuremberg. 1860s. 6 albumen prints, mounted to boards. Circa 25 x 27 cm and reverse (31 x 40). With handwritten caption in black ink below the image on mount.

This group of early views by Nuremberg-based photographer Georg Schmidt includes prominent architectural landmarks such as the Lorenzkirche, Hauptmarkt with the Schöner Brunnen, the Sebalduskirche, the Rathaus, and views toward the imperial castle. Taken from both street level and elevated vantage points, the images reflect Schmidt’s painterly eye and technical command of the albumen process during the early years of German photography. – Some fading, scuff marks, and rubbing on surface of prints, otherwise all in good to very condition.
