echte fotografie

[andya]

Hi
I understand the above terms means something like"genuine photography" .
I have searched the forum for "echte fotografie" but without result . My question is what exactly are these type of pictures? Are they classed as original period phots or something else?If you sell pictures like this is it ok to sell them as genuine period?
Sorry if this is a silly question but I cannot find the answer myself!!
regards
andy

Andya, these are actual photos just like the WWI Sanka cards are photos but these were produced in great numbers for resale and are known images. They are officially sanctioned photos with approval from RLM or other authority but do not have the value of a private unpublished photo. I would state that these are original photos from an official series which could be purchased at the time and as a result were mass produced.
