Op de site van “The Postcard Album” (TPA), op de pagina Photo Paper Trademarks, Logos and other imprints wordt uitleg gegeven. Eerst algemene tekst:

Anything found on an older postcard can be valuable for research. On real photo cards, either amateur or photographer work, you often find imprints which were not added by the photographer but already part of the pre-printed “Post Card” address side supplied by the photo paper manufacturer. This goes so far that even the film brand and / or camera lens used is mentioned.

I have noted the work of US collectors who carefully researched many of the photo paper trademarks. Names / initials (eg. AZO, ARTURA, VELOX, PMC etc) are usually found in the stamp box position. I am going to concentrate on old German companies here. Ignore the big firms like Agfa, Kodak who dealt worldwide. Names that are self-explaining, on which information is found quite easily. The trademarks in question are found on postcards done by amateurs as well as commercial photographers, with a limited number of copies printed. These however, were often mailed worldwide to relatives, friends etc.


En daarna uitleg over specifieke handelsmerken. Bij Cellofix staat:

The Cellofix trademark was registered for Kraft & Steudel, Fabrik photographischer Papiere, Dresden in 1907. See also title illustration. It was a photo paper especially for amateurs. This business was set up in 1894 and was around until late 1933 bankruptcy). Another popular Kraft & Steudel brand was named “Sidi”. Cellofix postcards are quite often seen.

Daaruit kunnen we in elk geval opmaken dat de foto mogelijk uit Duitsland komt en mogelijk tussen 1907 en 1933 of daaromtrent is gemaakt.
