notes
„Wilhelm Halffter muss, obwohl über seine Arbeit und sein Leben wenig bekannt ist, zu den bedeutendsten Fotografen der Frühzeit in Berlin gerechnet werden...” (Erika Billeter, Christoph Brockhaus: Skulptur im Licht der Fotografie: von Bayard bis Mapplethorpe, Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum Duisburg, Benteli, 1997, S. 308.) Berühmt wurde er durch seine großformatige Daguerreotypie von der Einweihung des Reiterstandbildes Friedrich des Großen 1851. Sie gilt als eine der ersten Reportagefotografien in Europa. (J.V.)
