Alfred Stieglitz, The Steerage – Smarthistory. Alfred Stieglitz, The Steerage, 1907, photogravure, 33.5cm x 26.4cm , (J.
Paul Getty Museum) First class After his 8-year-old daughter Kitty finished the school year and he closed his Fifth Avenue art gallery for the summer, Alfred Stieglitz gathered her, his wife Emmeline, and Kitty’s governess for their second excursion to Europe as a family. The Stieglitzes departed for Paris on May 14, 1907, aboard the first-class quarters of the fashionable ship Kaiser Wilhelm II.
Although Emmeline looked forward to shopping in Paris and to visiting her relatives in Germany, Stieglitz was anything but enthusiastic about the trip. Alfred Stieglitz. Stieglitz in Focus. Photographs etc. - Nick Lloyd home page. Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) and American Photography.
