Anny Eberth: 1877-1954

Professional photographer Anny Heimann later became better known by her married name Anny Eberth. From the blogspot site European Film Star Postcards, we learn:

In her Berlin studio, German photographer Anny Eberth portrayed aristocratic ladies and elegant fashion models, but also film actors and expressionist dancers, including the notorious Anita Berber. During the 1910s and 1920s, her photos were published in such Berlin magazines as Die Dame and Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung, and were used for many sepia film star postcards.

The site continues after casting out for further details on Eberth:

Very little information about Anny Eberth and her work can be found online. That is why Ivo Blom contacted the Museum für Fotografie in Berlin.

Ms. Dr. Britta Bommert of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin was so kind to respond and she wrote Ivo that she found the following information about Anny Eberth in the database of her organisation.

Eberth was active as a photographer since 1901. Later, she worked in Madame d’Ora’s studio in Vienna. This was one of the most important Austrian photo salons of the first decades of the 20th century. The studio was founded in 1907 by Dora Kallmus with the support of Arthur Benda.

Between 1916 and at least 1926, Anny Eberth lived in Berlin. Her address was Lennéstraße 5, Berlin W9.

She specialised in fashion photography. Her fashion photos were published in many magazines and other publications. Examples are ‘Die Dame’, no. 5, Mid-December 1916, and in ‘Die Deutsche Elite’, 1926, p. 202.

For her work, Anny Eberth received medals at international exhibitions in Dresden, Ghent, Brussels, Rome, and Berlin.
