Details

The picture was produced by Mostek 1200 UB scanner in grayscale, with 1200 dpi resolution, no further image manipulations. The gray, moire like background, was present in the original photo, probably for artistic effect. The preserved newspaper had many small yellow stains and was folded.

Count Karl von Hohenwart (February 12, 1824 - April 26, 1899) was an Austrian politician who served as the prime minister of Austrian part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in 1871.

The photo is scanned from the front page of "Pražský ilustrovaný kurýr" from April 27, 1899. Pražský ilustrovaný kurýr (Prague illustrated courrier) was a Czech language newspaper published in Prague during the end of 19th and beginning of 20th century. The photography has an unreadable sign in bottom right and there's no information when it was taken (possibly in 1871). The issue has three pages of text dedicated to Hohenwart.

It is believed that copyright for the photo had expired long ago.
