Christian Adolph Barfod Lønborg (5 September 1835 – 27 October 1916) was a Danish portrait photographer. Life and work[edit] edit source] He was the son of watchmaker Didrik Bech Lonborg and Freda Poulin Priergaard. He trained as a painter, graduated from the Academy of Arts in 1850 and was also a private pupil of Wilhelm Marstrand, receiving a small silver medal from the Academy in 1860. In 1891 he travelled in Germany and Belgium, and in 1878 he won a bronze medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris as a photographer of group portraits. Originally specializing in portrait lithographs, he established himself as a photographer in Nakskov in 1865 and moved to Copenhagen in 1871, where he opened his own photographic studio. He took a liking to the technique of carte de visite photography, which quickly spread in the 1970s as a cheap and attractive alternative to portrait painting. [1] The most famous is probably the profile portrait of the aged Nikolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig, taken in 1872. References[edit] | edit source]
