About me / Bio:
Hermann Biow was an early German photographer who worked with daguerreotypes. In partnership with Carl Ferdinand Stelzner, he opened Germany's first daguerreotype studio in Hamburg in 1841. He is remembered for his images of the great fire in May 1842 that destroyed much of the city. He also made portraits of notable figures such as Alexander von Humboldt and Ole Bull. He moved to Dresden in the late 1840s, where his sister Jenny Bossard-Biow took over the Hamburg studio. He died in Dresden in 1850 due to fumes from his photographic production process. He was one of the pioneers of photography in Germany and left a valuable legacy of historical images
