"I was really astonished. I thought it was unbelievable," said shop owner Peter Coeln, who asked to see Peschke's 400 vintage Schmutzer prints.

VIENNA, Austria — Matthias Peschke saw nothing special in the photographs taken by his grandfather Ferdinand Schmutzer and his etched portraits of Freud and Einstein hanging on the walls of his Vienna home. For more than 70 years, photos and negatives of Einstein and Freud remained tucked away in the Peschke home, stored in an unused room.
About a year ago, while renovating his grandfather's old studio, Peschke took four of Schmutzer's old cameras, including a wooden field model made in 1896, to a camera shop for repair.
Coeln's Vienna gallery. The show runs through Feb. 24.
Besides Freud and Einstein, Schmutzer photographed prominent artists, musicians and art patrons, including writer Arthur Schnitzler, composer Richard Strauss and cellist Pablo Casals. The artist also etched official portraits of the last German emperor, William II, and the last Austrian emperor, Karl I.
According to Anna Auer, the show's curator, Schmutzer, who died in 1928, took the photos and then used them as models for his etchings — his artistic specialty.
Coeln said that because people were posing for what would later be an etching, they came across as natural and relaxed.
The collection, which includes 15 never before displayed photos of the camera-shy Freud, has both artistic and historical value. Coeln said.
"Fred hated to be photographed, and there are only
about 100 photos of him in existence," he said.
In 1926, Freud wrote to Schmutzer to thank him for the portrait, which is exhibited next to several of his photos. "I would like to thank you for the effort you made in reproducing my unappealing face and to repeat my assurance that now do I feel preserved for posterity," Freud wrote.
Although there are no immediate plans to tour the collection, Peschke said he hoped the pictures could be shown next in New York or London, where are many descendants of Austrians who fled during the Nazi occupation.
The photographs are also a painful reminder of a lost world, Peschke said.
"The children of Jews who were forced to leave Vienna can see their roots in these pictures," he said.
