Charming early unsigned carte de visite photo by Rudolph Striegler showing her head and shoulders in an oval wearing a white lacy dress, 4" x 2½", no place but Copenhagen, no date, circa

Rudolph Striegler (1816–1876) was one of Denmark's early photographers, specialising in portrait photography. Trained as a picture-framer, he opened Odense's first daguerreotype studio in 1846. With his experience of gold-plating, he was able to combine photography with ornate framing. Until 1857, he travelled widely around the country until he finally moved to Copenhagen. In 1860, he introduced carte-de-visite photography to Denmark.
