Administrative History

Gebrüder Wehrli (1890s-1904) was a Swiss photography business.

Gebrüder Wehrli was formed by Arthur, Bruno, and Harry Wehrli in the mid-1890s. They primarily took photographs of and around the Swiss Alps. Their work is known for very sharp black and white contrast and for their eye for detail. Their photographs were popular in the 1890s and early 20th century as tourist postcards. In 1904, they merged with Bachmann of Lucerne to become Wehrli AG and Company.
