Atelier
Adèle (probably Adèle Perlmutter-Heilperin,
active Vienna, Austria after 1862) Albumen
Cabinet Card, 4 x 5.6 inches, circa 1890 Atelier
Adele was founded in 1862. Adele Perlmutter-Heilperin
co-owned the studio with her two brothers, and was
described as the "Grande Dame" of the Atelier. The studio
prospered and eventually opened two branches. Around
1890, the Atelier was named Photographer to the Imperial
Court. Also in 1890, Frau Perlmutter-Heilperin turned
over management of the studio to her brother Wilhelm.
This
dignified portrait from Vienna demonstrates that
photographs with ersatz snow were not limited to North
America.
