Talk:Hedda Morrison

Manager of Hartung's Photoshop Beijing?

 * "in 1933 Hammer took up a position in China to manage Hartung's Photo Shop"

In the reference she got from that joint in 1938 it says nothing about "management". It says she was employed as a photographer, who, thanks to her language skills, also proved herself valuable in the sales side of the business. The translation offered at the Maas Collection is not the best, but I suppose, it is pretty clear. Oalexander (talk) 01:46, 30 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes you are correct @Oalexander. The letter reads in full
 * "Miss Hedda Hammer was employed as a photographer in our photo shop and in our studio from September 1, 1933 to June 30, 1938. At that time we got to know Miss Hammer as a hardworking worker who is well versed in all branches of her profession; she has all the qualifications to be a portraitist and press photographer, as well as a special talent for landscape photography. Due to her fluency in the language, she was a great help in our sales operations.
 * "The political situation in North China unfortunately forced us to cancel her contract. Miss Hammer is going home in August.
 * "We wish her all the best for the futureI think it was Stokes from which the idea she was 'manager' comes."
