Adolf L. Solling
Adolf L. Solling was one of the first established photographers in the 19th century in Hannover and a member of the local court theater .
Life
According to the address book of the royal capital and residence city of Hanover , he was a member of the court theater and daguerreotypist . Since the opera house in Hanover was not completed until 1852, it must be assumed that he was employed in the former opera extension at the Leineschloss in 1850 (today replaced by the extension to the Lower Saxony state parliament by Ernst Zinsser ).
The full-page advertisement of Solling in the business gazette from 1850 locates his “Photographisches Atelier” at Fischerstraße 2 , “to the left of the entrance to Herrenhäuser Allee”. There he offered as early as 1850 the "production of photo portraits on silver plates ( daguerreotypes ) as well as on paper", namely "with and without color ".
Since the address book of the city of Hanover “and its suburbs” (according to the inside title from 1850) shows no other place of residence for Solling, it can be assumed that Solling operated his studio next to or in his apartment.
It is possible that Solling did not take photos alone under his name, since running the studio and working at the court theater at the same time were certainly not always compatible.
