  Maybe taken during the Great Inflation of the early 1920's in Germany.

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation_in_the_Weimar_Republic Since there have not been any postings in a month, are we still in 1923 or are we in 1924.

• swanq said:

  The date written on the negative (at bottom left) is 10/27/23. So the photo was taken no later than October 27, 1923. See also alphahistory.com/weimarrepublic/1923-hyperinflation/

  The banknotes on the right are Thousand Mark notes introduced September 15, 1923: www.apcpapercollect.com/images/1germP076b1000mark.jpg By late October, when this image was taken, 1000 Marks couldn't even buy you a cup of coffee. On Oct. 25, 1923, 1 U.S. $ was worth 1,000,000,000,000 Mark (1 trillion Marks). These banknotes are stacked in the basement of the bank because they are literally not worth the paper on which they are printed. www.pbs.org/wgbh/commandingheights/shared/minitext/ess_ge...

• swanq said:

  The photo looks to be taken in the same spot as and is therefore likely to be on the Leviathan.

  See earlier photo of Wasservogel in the Bain stream:

• Donna (LOC PP) said:

  Thanks for adding the additional links for Isidor Wasservogel. We'll look into it for an update to the catalog record.
