SPEAKER_02: From Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan. Welcome back to Encyclopedia Wamanica. If you're just tuning in for the first time, here's what to expect. In five minutes every weekday for a year, we're telling the stories of women throughout history who you may or may not know about, but definitely should. Each month has a theme, and this month we're talking about dreamers. Women to remember due to their creative prowess. Today we're heading to 19th century Germany to talk about one of the greatest professional photographers of the age. Our dreamer of the day is Berta Beckmann. Berta was born in 1815 in Kottbuss-Brandenburg, which is about 78 miles southeast of Berlin. She started her career as a hairdresser in Dresden in 1839. A year later, she met her future husband, Edward Wehnert, who was a photographer. He introduced her to the daguerreotype process, an early 10-step method that captured images on metal sheets. He also introduced her to color tinting, a newer process that used glass plate negatives and allowed for an unlimited number of prints. It's hard to imagine today as people snap photos without thought, but back in Berta's era, photography was just starting to become a viable technology. During her career, the exposure time for pictures went from about half an hour to a few minutes. Together, Berta and Edward opened a studio in Leipzig. Berta was Germany's first known professional female photographer and may have been the first woman in the profession in the world. After Edward's death in 1847, Berta continued to run the business they started together, and in 1849, she decided to expand. She went to the United States and opened up studios in New York City, first at 62 White Street, and later at 385 Broadway, which is quite close to where this episode's being recorded. Unlike many artists throughout history, Berta was celebrated for her skill during her lifetime. While in New York, she received a diploma for special services to portrait photography. She had a variety of celebrity subjects, including President Millard Fillmore, ambassadors, and other politicians. Berta left her New York business in the hands of her brother and moved back to Leipzig in 1851. After her return, her business grew and her photographic portfolio expanded. She moved to a new location, hired several employees, and her studio became one of the most notable addresses in the city. Berta continued to add to her list of famous clients, including musician and composer Clara Schumann, ["Symphony No. 5"] composer Johannes Brahms, successful trader and philanthropist Franz Dominic Grassi, and many others. Berta kept up to date and forged ahead in her craft. She was the first person in Leipzig to work with nude photography, and she's credited with some of the first architectural photographs of the city. She was one of two photographers from her region to put up an exhibit at the first German industrial fair in Munich in 1854, where she displayed paper prints, as well as the metal sheets used in the daguerreotype method. Berta Beckman's photographs combined technical skills with artistic vision. She specialized in portraits and is renowned for her photographs of children. Her artistic and business acumen both contributed to her great success. Berta retired in 1883 when she was just 68 years old. She died 18 years later in 1901. The exhibitions of her work are considered extremely valuable to historians studying early photography. Tune in tomorrow for the story of another impressive dreamer. We'll be talking about a sculptor of the Harlem Renaissance. This month of Encyclopedia Wamanica is brought to you by Casper. Casper mattresses and products let today's dreamers get the sleep they need to turn their ideas into reality. Special thanks to the one and only Liz Kaplan, my favorite sister and the brain behind this amazing collection of women. Talk to you tomorrow.
