Vor August Sander. Ähnlichkeit und Typus im fotografischen Porträt des 19. Jahrhunderts

With Jan von Brevern, deputy professorship for Art History, University of Siegen
In German language

During the 19th century the portrait was by far the most common form of photography. At the same time there was a vivid discussion about photography's ability to properly display people. What is being displayed in a photographic portrait of a person? The lecture revolves around how photography during its early years handled the portrait, having different approaches between individual resemblance and social standardisation.
