Inscribed: to John D. Schiff with all good wishes - Ludwig Bemelmans on FFEP

John D. Schiff, until his emigration Hans Schiff (born November 7, 1907 in Cologne; died September 17, 1976 in New York City) was a german-American photographer. After the seizure of power by the National Socialists, he was forced to give up his commercial profession. He worked as a freelance photographer for numerous Jewish institutions in Cologne. Shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, he and his wife, the surgeon Trude Schiff-Löwenstein, managed to emigrate to London. In 1940 he moved to New York, where he worked as a freelance photographer with artists, art dealers and museums until his death. In addition to his own portraits of numerous public figures, he specialized in reproductions of works of art. See less
