A. Ganis & V. Ozols: Photo Shop and Amateur Lab in Wartime Riga

(Ostland Region). Although there isn't much detailed information about this company, it can be assumed that the founders were A. Ganis and V. Ozols. It appears to be a business offering photography and film-related services based in Riga. The phrase "Foto Geschäft und Amateurlaboratorium" indicates that the company was both a photo shop and a laboratory for amateurs. Additionally, the envelope bears the term "Ostland," which refers to the Baltic countries and Western Belarus under German occupation during World War II. The recipient address on the envelope is the renowned German company Otto Perutz, which produced photographic chemicals and film. The company was founded in 1880 by the German chemist Otto Perutz (1847-1922).
