Pepa Feldscharek graduated from the Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt in 1918 and, in 1920, co-founded a photo studio in Vienna with fellow graduate Melanie Heller. From 1922 onward, she ran the studio independently, specializing in fashion, dance, and portrait photography, with her work regularly featured in leading magazines such as Die Bühne, Moderne Welt, Die Dame, Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung, Wiener Magazin and Münchner Illustrierte Presse. Due to her Jewish heritage, Feldscharek fled Austria in 1938, adopting the name Josefine Schreier. She emigrated to New York and eventually settled in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where she died in 1962. – Minimal mirroring in edges, a few small surface spots, otherwise in very good condition.
