Early Photograph from America
« on: November 27, 2013, 06:56:57 am »
Just found this and would like to know who's the man on it and who is the photographer Offenbach from Brooklyn ?  And data must be before 1922 as seen on glued newspaper fragments on the frame .  So who is able to tell me more ? Size is 17x14 inches so big picture .

Enter the address, including Brooklyn, within quotation marks in Google. Plenty of results.

Yes that works but Leeds is not Offenbach so any idea who he was ? And my photo is handsigned on the photo or in the negatief itself so not like what i see on the Leeds pictures .  Any idea about that ? And who is this man himself on the picture ?

Most likely it's anyone.

Try a google image search using the second image.

I think when he stated the needle and haystack thing he just was indicating it will be hard to locate one person in such a large area to look.  I have a lot of photos from early on and I do know who some of them are but trying to find the other people I have pictures of would be very difficult.  I wouldn't know where to start even.  I always start with asking the person I get them from what they know to make it possible to have a direction to go.
