The stamp reads “First Jewish Amateur Photography Competition Frankfurt am Main 1937.” Vishniac submitted a photograph of a stork (recto) to a national Jewish photography competition in Frankfurt in 1937, as indicated by the blue sticker with camera and Jewish star design. Such specifically Jewish competitions and camera clubs were formed as a response to Jewish photographers’ exclusion from other photographic clubs and contests.
