Breathtaking: Luxembourg 1891: Charles Bernhoeft Lost Collection of Photographs. Roman/Belgic (?)

Howdy ya’ll, Welcome back to the channel. If you’re new here, I like to make videos showcasing the oldest known images of specific locations, usually from museums or private collections. I then like to weigh the current narrative juxtaposed to the oldest images we are presented with. That, for me, constitutes a large portion of my “Old World” series of videos. In today’s video I’d like to share with you some absolutely remarkable photographs I discovered of Luxembourg, taken in 1891 by little known photographer Charles Bernhoeft. Charles was born and raised in Luxembourg, and lived there throughout his life from 1859-1933. In his photographic collection are some of the most detailed images I have ever seen of any Old World location. Charles himself has little to no history written about him, yet he seems to be one of the most intellectual photographers of his time, even inventing his own flash device for his photographs. What makes these images absolutely worth breaking down are the countless examples of what we would call “anomalies”, or simply, examples of ancient architecture found in 1891 Luxembourg which seem to exceed, or confound, the current narrative. So in today’s video we will focus on roughly 15 to 20 unique, high definition images of Luxembourg taken in 1891 by Charles Bernhoeft. These will be images from a larger set, of which roughly 75% or more of the images are still missing (or have not been uploaded anywhere online). The landscape shots, as well as the ruined castles, which have seemingly grown into the landscape, are some of the finest examples of Old World Architecture I have seen in a long time.
