She's my cousin, named Sophie Osterloff (married Lazutina). The photografer was her loving father (and my ... grand,grandpa).
This photo was made in Tbilisi (Russia).

Thanks a lot for your information. Nice to hear that as well the photographer as the model are former relatives of you. It's gives the photograph extra "value". Do you have more photos or information of this photographer?
Thanks, Jan (Servatius)

The photographs of Edmund Osterloff (1863-1938)can be found in the National Museum in Wroclaw (Poland). He became a member of the elitist Polish Photo Club in 1932.
I would like to ask you if, it would be possible to reprint the photograph of "Miss Curiosity" in my article, that I prepare for the scientist magazine (non-profit)?
Best regards from Warsaw.

Thank you very much.
Last month in a polish village Radomsko, there was an exhibition of Edmund Osterloff's photograpies, taken from the National Museum in Wroclaw (Breslau)collection. Unfortunately, you were not able to see it, but I hope you will come to see the next one, wich is being planned in the future.
Best regards.
