Photograph of a woman wearing a hat, identified as a "Frenchwoman" (Stefania of the Grossmans?)
c. 1910
Museum of the history of Polish Jews
Part of the collection: Photographs from the collection of Halina Kamińska (Mamelok) née Baruch
The studio photograph; a bust of a woman with braided hair and a side-swept fringe. There is no caption on the photograph, and we do not know who the woman depicted was. However, judging by the context in which the photograph was stored by Halina Mamelok née Baruch, daughter of Diana née Wolffsohn (Wolfson), whose aunt (sister of her mother, Miranda) Ewelina Grossman née Cohn lived in Częstochowa, we may assume that she is a relative of Ewelina Grossman. Although it is only a loose hypothesis, it cannot be excluded that this is an image of Ewelina and Miranda Cohn's mother, Hinda Cohn of Fajersztajn.
The photograph was glued onto an original lithographed cardboard box with an embossed logo of the atelier (part of the signature on the obverse is cropped); the decorative logo is also on the reverse; the corners of the photograph are cut off and rounded. Apparently, the photograph was displayed in an oval frame.
Maximilian Kohn's atelier operated in Czestochowa in the first quarter of the 20th century (Kon appeared on later company cards the name). Kohn certainly sounded until the end of the first decade of the 20th century, but one can think that even until about 1918. Hence, the photograph cannot come from before 1901 (since there is still the letter h in the name, the photograph does not come from the last period of the atelier's functioning either).
