Eduard Bertel .... I can't seem to find out much about the photographer? I have seen the pic cards on sale with infants posing in the same seat and cards with various forms of logo and even name... Just curious? So far all I have found are the pages I posted along with the pics and I would love for someone to translate it if it has any relevance.
~Peace~

Wirkliche P.T. Mitgleider = Real P.T. Members
P.T. must have been some type of club. May have nothing to do with the photocard.
Thanks mustangtony,
When I did a search his name came up on that list??
Yes, I see his name under the "B" listings along with his profession. It seems all the names have their professions afterward and then their city/town. The only thing I could find reference to Germany and P.T. was in relation to "Psycho Therapy Club" (1908) - I do note that 2 of the 4 honorary members are Doctors.
That's funny mustangtony,
LOL.. Psycho Therapy Club!
Another photo here, apparently did a number of theatre portraits also.
Merry Christmas to you and a happy new year. Phil.
