Another stunning Kronfeld birthday photo that may be judged by historians as Hofmann ’ s crowning achievement . To put the seal on its appeal this sumptuous image includes the famous German sea raider of the First World War , Count Felix von Luckner ( in the middle with white suit ). Hofmann doubtless composed the group and focussed the camera before getting someone else to press the shutter release , as he is in the photo ( or he was able to activate a delayed or remote shutter release ).
