At the same time as the photographic technology
had been patented in Paris in 1839 the brothers Carl Siegmund (1780–1857) and Peter Bauer (1783–1847)
and the wood turner Johann Jakob Heller (1801–1860)
in Nuremberg experimented with the camera obscura and produced daguerreotypes, each of which is a unique photograph of the early period. By the middle of the 1840s the two painters Friedrich Hahn (1804–1880) and Georg Schmidt (1811–1867) and Paul Sigmund Cramer (1810–1869), who was previously a pharmacist, had already established institutes for photography. There were also many travelling photographers in the town, who often used restaurants and hotels as temporary photographic studios. In the following decades the number of photographers steadily increased: So the address book of 1846 records only one photographer,
in 1860 there are already seven named and by 1873 the number of persons working in this new profession rises to 23 and is doubled again by the turn of the century. The exhibition shows a selection of the most beautiful photographs of Nuremberg, taken between the epoch of the Romantic period and the beginning of the height of industrialization.
