(Below) Trans people in the Eldorado bar in Berlin, 1926 - bpk/ Kunstbibliothek, SMB.
This was the Lutherstraße 31/32 location (active 1926-1931)

I was going through my things and came across a print from when I was experimenting with a selenium toner a couple years ago. The picture was shot on Ilford Ortho 80, during a day of stand-up paddling with a friend in Brandenburg (I don’t remember where haha)
