Jorge Henrique Papf

Jorge Henrique Papf (Berlin, 1863 – Petrópolis, 1920) was a German-Brazilian photographer and painter who lived during the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Considered to be an excellent photographer of landscapes,[1] he took the landscapes that illustrated the Guia de Petrópolis (Petrópolis Guide) of 1885,[1] and also photographed a panorama with a circular perspective of 360° of the city of Petrópolis, in 1898.[1] He inherited the job of his father, Karl Ernst Papf, who came to Brazil in 1867 together with the photographer Alberto Henschel.[1]
