Text note
No substantial text appears on the photograph’s face. The related verso record transcribes its short order or finishing notation and records why the earlier 1927 date inference was withdrawn.

- Date not established
- Digital image
- 699 × 1200 pixels
- Evidence status
- Color-enhanced presentation image derived from a family-held historical photograph
- Uncertainty
- The writer, occasion, date, exact location, photographer and other people have not been identified. The mark “#Spiegel” may connect the print to the household of Ruth Reichenbach, whose later married name was Spiegel. If so, the print passed through Ruth’s keeping in America—a possible physical trace of her custody of family photographs. The identification is unconfirmed.
- Source and provenance
- Family-supplied color-enhanced image and photographed verso supplied by Rabbi Daniel Dolph Reichenbach on 9 August 2026; Paul and Halberstadt identified by family testimony.
- Credit
- Reichenbach Family Archive
- Rights
- Family-owned photograph; cleared for publication by the archive owner.
- Image treatment
- Family-supplied color-enhanced presentation image. It is explicitly labeled as enhanced and is not presented as an untouched historical photograph. The direct scan is preserved as RB-PHO-0320.
