No date of death of author. No reason to believe he is already more than 70 years dead. Date of production ~ 1900 - but this is not sufficient. When did Max Mayer Sperling die? Date is too young to assume author is dead more than 70 years. He could have died 1945. That would be fewer than 70 years ago. Saibo (Δ) 20:42, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this database query helps? Alfie↑↓© 00:17, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, nice. :-) Died "1925". I do not assume "Max Mayer Sperling" is a common name, is it? I mean: could it be that this is a the wrong person? Probably not, hmm? Viele Grüße --Saibo (Δ) 00:45, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The name is very unusual. Took me quite a while to get the reference in the database of Jewish cemeteries of Vienna and Lower Austria. The dates of photos (ca. 1898–1912) would fit (taken at his age of ~41 to ~55 years). After searching the net for a couple of hours I think this is the best we can come up with. Another option would be to contact the Publisher (Albumverlag, Photoantiquariat Helfried Seemann, 1010 Wien Seilergasse 19, T/F +43/(0)1 5136491). I leave this to Geiserich77. Servus aus Wien!

Since the name is not a frequent one and the time matches I think it is okay. Of course it would be best if we get a info from the publisher. However, unless there is new info I would add this to all the pictures and we can close this deletion request. Viele Grüße aus Hessen --Saibo (Δ) 14:38, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
