Carl Gustav Oehme was an early German photographer and apparatus builder. He studied the Daguerreotype process in Paris after meeting Louis Daguerre in 1840 and continued to produce daguerreotypes until 1862. The same year Oehme was awarded a medal at the World Exhibition in London. – Some oxidation around edges, a few light scuff marks on plate, otherwise a strong image in very good condition.
