content: Lotte Jacobi (1896-1990) was a photographer who worked mainly in Berlin, New York City, and New Hampshire. Johanna Alexandria (Lotte) Jacobi was born in Prussia to a family of established photographers. She trained at the Bavarian Academy of Photography and the University of Munich. From 1927 to 1935, Jacobi managed her father's portrait photography studio in Berlin. She also pursued independent projects, experimenting with dance and theatre photography as well as film production. Jacobi, who was Jewish, fled Nazi Germany in 1935 and moved to New York City. There, she opened her own photography studio. Jacobi became well-known for her portraits of Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, Robert Frost, Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz, and Paul Strand. She was also known for her experimental "photogenics" series, consisting of cameraless abstract light prints. 

In 1955, Jacobi moved to Deering, New Hampshire. There, she purchased an old logger's cabin which her son, John F. Hunter, converted into a residence and studio space. In 1962, Jacobi began holding exhibitions in the renovated cabin, whch was dubbed Lotte Jacobi Place. These exhibitions featured work by Frances Hubbart Flaherty, Robert J. Flaherty, Albert Renger-Patzsch, Minor White, Louise Nevelson, and Leo Katz, among others. Lotte Jacobi Place's final exhibition was held in 1968.
