These are two vintage gelatin silver prints of the German photographer Albert Renger-Patzsch (1897-1966) from the 1920s. They are the two photographs ‘stag beetle’ and ‘Rat with vase’. In his book ‘The world is beautiful’ (1928), he shows 100 cutouts-like represented subject matters of the flora and fauna in his clear, transparent style. The stamps on the reverse prove that Albert Renger-Patzsch took these photos for the Folkwang Verlag, whose image archivist he was. The prints were generated from the negatives under the supervision of Ernst Fuhrmann, the director of the publishing house. Fuhrmann gave the archive to Wilhelm Arnholdt when he left Germany.

Both bear verso on the cardboard various stamps ‘E.F. *Freundeskreis* Ernst Fuhrmann’, ‘Folkwang Verlag, Photo: Fred Koch’, ‘Wilhelm Arnholdt Maschinensetzerei Hamburg 20, Falkenried 42’ as well as ‘Maya Heya Isolde Arnholdt’. The photographs are in very good condition. The dimensions are each 17 x 12 cm.
Albert Renger-Patzsch (1897-1966)
Albert Renger-Patzsch began photography at an early age of twelve. After he served in WWII he studied chemistry in Dresden. He was the publisher of a number of photography books with scientific illustrations. His style is concentrated on sharply focused and realistic motives that represent New Objectivity well. Renger-Patzsch proclaimed the view that the value of photography lies in the ability to reproduce the reality of an object. His archives had been destroyed entirely during WWII. After the war he moved to Wamel, Möhnsee and lived there for the rest of his life. (tm)
