1940s Studio Portrait - By Alfred Crossberg / Kreutzberger

A fabulous black & white studio portrait of Mary Crossberg nee Underhill, wife of Alfred Crossberg - formally Alfred Kreutzberger.

This photograph was taken in the 1940s. Kreutzberger was a German Jew and a prominent photographer / filmmaker working in Berlin in the 1930s. Alfred is documented as a filmmaker who recorded footage of the Graf Zeppelin LZ127 and the arrival of German President Von Hindenburg to open a sports stadium named after him.

With the rise of the Nazi party - Kreutzberger fled Germany in 1937 and started a photographic studio in Johannesburg, South Africa. Alfred Kreutzberger anglicised his surname to Crossberg. Later Alfred would move to Cornwall and set up a photography studio in Looe.

This is a rare opportunity to own an early Crossberg photograph which would look amazing framed as interior decoration. Some foxing and bumps to corners. We have several other Crossberg photographs of models from a large portfolio.
