This portrait photograph shows the couple Else (née Megies, 1892–1961) and Carsten Friedrichsen (1895–1937) in the spring of 1919. The couple is seated in half-length portraits facing the camera; in the background, at the top of the image, the inscription “Hamburg St. Georg, Steindam 39” and a number are visible. Carsten Friedrichsen is wearing a uniform with a World War I wounded badge; Else Friedrichsen is wearing a dark coat with a strikingly light-colored fur collar and a wide-brimmed hat decorated with flowers. The 6×4 cm miniature photograph was taken in the studio of the Dutch photographer Jonas Sanders (1874–1957). He had founded the studio named after him at Steindamm 39 in 1912. He was one of the first to introduce the innovative, so-called “stickyback” photography to the Hanseatic city. By using more modern camera technology, which made it possible to capture several small photos of different people on a single large glass plate, the time-consuming and costly production process of photography could be significantly reduced. The numbering placed in the background of the photographed individuals served to identify them for the respective customer. Also notable is the Dutch spelling of the address “Steindam.” The images were typically developed in sets of nine to twelve on a large sheet of bromide silver paper, which could later be cut into individual photos.
