I am pretty sure the photographer is Dr.
Ludwik Silberstein.
He was a native of Warsaw, educated in
Cracow, Heidelberg, and Berlin. He lectured
on "Natural Philosophy" in Rome
until 1920. From 1912 to 1920, he also held
a position with the Research Department of
Adam Hilger, Ltd. a London firm known for
high quality optical work, like quartz
spectrometers for physics and chemist
researchers. In 1920, he moved to the
Eastman Kodak Co. in Rochester N.Y. where he
worked until his death in 1948. He is famous
for an early book that helped spread
Einstein’s theory of special relativity, The
Theory of Relativity published in 1914. The
woman appears to be the same as the one
entitled woman in blue dress sits near
fireplace?

I agree with Lilorfnannie.
I spent quite a bit of time studying the
pattern on the chair. I was about to suggest
it myself, but noticed her post. It's called
"Woman and boy sitting in chair."
I wonder if the woman and the boy were
members of Dr. Silberstein's family.

As ever with the Autochrome process, there is
a lovely soft quality - almost like an
impressionist painting. It's amazing to think
such glorious colour prints were being
produced only 20 odd years after the
invention of photography

she appears to be looking directly at each of
us. Living in time some nearly 90 years ago.

Precioso retrato. Es una buena época para la
fotografía. ¿A quien mira el personaje? A un
fotógrafo que ya no existe o a nosotros que
aún no estábamos allí..
Es el misterio del retrato, la belleza que
desafía al tiempo.
