EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Porgh Die Fischhandlerin" by Franz S. Hanfstaengl transports us back to the bustling streets of Germany in the late 19th century. Taken around 1875, this albumen silver print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the life of a fishmonger woman known as Porgh. The image exudes an air of authenticity, with every detail meticulously captured by Hanfstaengl's lens. The composition draws our attention to Porgh herself, who stands proudly amidst her wares - fresh fish neatly arranged on wooden crates. Her weathered face tells stories of hard work and resilience, while her hands bear the marks of countless hours spent handling slippery sea creatures. Hanfstaengl's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the photograph, creating a sense of realism that is both striking and evocative. The contrast between Porgh's worn attire and the vibrant array of fish she sells creates an intriguing juxtaposition that speaks volumes about life during this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a slice of everyday life through Hanfstaengl's lens. This print serves as a testament to his talent for capturing not only moments but also emotions within each frame. It reminds us that even seemingly ordinary scenes can hold extraordinary beauty when viewed through the eyes of an artist like Hanfstaengl
