Louis Wermilsckirchen

Title

Louis Wermilsckirchen

Description

One of 320 portraits, from an unknown photographer circa early to mid-1930’s. Photographs were developed from original glass plate negatives. Names on the envelopes appeared to be the person responsible for paying rather than the sitter. Most plates show retouching in the faces. Often if there are two portraits on one plate, one will show retouching and the other will not. The retouching looks like it was done with a fine pencil on the emulsion side, but some other tool may have been used.
