About
Jump to
The two Henkin brothers, Evgeny (14 December 1900 – 3 January 1938) and Yakov (2 December 1903 – 13 December 1941), were significant early 20th century amateur street and documentary photographers who primarily recorded the daily life of, respectively, Berlin, Germany and Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Russia, in the late 1920s and 1930s, during the interwar years. Their photographs, mostly never printed in their lifetimes and kept as negatives, were re-discovered by the descendants of Yakov Henkin in the late 2000s. This collection, known as the Henkin Brothers Archive, consists of around 7000 frames of photography.
