Jan Langhans (1851 - 1928) PORTRAIT OF A LADY IN A HAT

From 1880, the Langhans photographic studio in Vodičkova Street was a portrait photography studio. Among the celebrities who became clients of the studio were Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Antonín Dvořák, Emma Destinnová, Lída Baarová and many famous actors, painters and diplomats. The studio was appreciated mainly for its high artistic level and also for its convincing marketing - its future clients were attracted by a company car with a mobile advertising banner.
