    Jun. 10, 2020

    Ahrendts, Leopold: Von Hordt'sche Palais, Wilhelmstraße 70, Berlin

    Est: €800 - €1,000

    Von Hordt'sche Palais, Wilhelmstraße 70, Berlin. Circa 1859. 2 salt prints with rounded corners. 16,5 x 20,3 cm and 20,6 x 16,1 cm. Each mounted to board (soiled in edges). Leopold Ahrendts worked first as a painter and lithographer in Dessau before moving to Berlin circa 1850, where he presented lithographs at the Academy of the Arts exhibition that same year. In 1856 he began working in the studio of the court photographer Philipp Graff. He exhibited his first photographs under the name of the Graff studio. Shortly thereafter he began signing his photos with his own name. Ahrendts is undoubtedly one of the most important early German photographers who combined high technical standards and artful composition in his photographs. Between 1818-1834 the "von Hordtsche Palais" was the Berlin residence of Ernst August (1771-1851), King of Hanover (1837-1851), 1st Duke of Cumberland. Ernst August was married to Frederike von Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the sister of Queen Luise of Prussia. The son of Ernst August, later King George V, spent most of his childhood in this residence. The house existed in the state shown in this image until 1868, when the ‘railway king’ Bethel Henry Strousberg had the beautiful palace demolished and replaced by an imposing new building. In 1876 it was rented by the United Kingdom and from 1884 it served as the British Embassy. – One print with some light retouching in lower area, otherwise in very good condition with strong tones.

    Architectural views of Berlin. Late 1850s/early 1860s. 18 gold-toned albumen prints with rounded corners and 1 albumen print 19,4 x 15 cm (not by Ahrendts).

    Ahrendts, Leopold: Palais Itzig, Berlin

    Est: €2,000 - €2,200

    Palais Itzig, Berlin. Circa 1856. Salt print with rounded corners. 16 x 21,3 cm. Mounted to board (slightly soiled, some foxing). Leopold Ahrendts worked first as a painter and lithographer in Dessau before moving to Berlin circa 1850, where he presented lithographs at the Academy of the Arts exhibition that same year. In 1856 he began working in the studio of the court photographer Philipp Graff. He exhibited his first photographs under the name of the Graff studio and shortly thereafter he began signing his photos with his own name. Ahrendts is undoubtedly one of the most important early German photographers who combined high technical standards and artful composition in his photographs. In 1762 the banker Daniel Itzig purchased the palace pictured here, which was originally built for General Montargues in 1718, and had it remodelled into a stately residence palace. The palace was sold in 1856 and torn down in 1858. The plans for this building have been lost and Ahrendts was the only photographer to document the residence with his camera, making this photograph, in such an excellent state, all the more rare and valuable. - One minimal foxing spot near upper edge and a few light surface scratches only visible in raking light, otherwise a beautiful rich print with an exceptionally strong violet-brown tone, strong contrasts and in excellent condition.
