Trained as a painter in Nuremberg and Munich, Georg Schmidt opened a photographic studio in Nuremberg in 1846 and identified himself solely as a photographer from 1852. His atmospheric city views, including this image and the following lot, rank among the earliest photographic records of Nuremberg. They combine close attention to the city’s historic fabric with the pictorial sensibility of a trained artist.
