You could be right, but since we're talking about two photos, I believe it's necessary.

"is" -- not sure anyone would add "the same." I think people are making every effort to jam in the literal notion of "entsprechen", but that's too tight a fit.

14:49 May 12, 2011 

is the same.......short and simple and correct

14:43 May 12, 2011 

You want "photograph" for "Photographie" in this case. "Entspricht" can simply be "is" here, German being more precise about distinctions of identity than En.

I find Andrew Swift's assertion that 'correspond' can't be used in regard to photos ludicrous and arrogant in the extreme, and an insult-
his own link goes to prove this- 'matching'the original or negative to the current version in this case.

12:57 May 11, 2011 

Ih that case, I'd say "to match" may be the best match here. : o )

11:59 May 11, 2011 

I do not have more information than that.

11:57 May 11, 2011 

This is not an "official" certification. As I explained to Jaime: My understanding (without having see the photo) is that someone is attesting to the authenticity of a photo, for example a close relative says, Yes, this is my father.

The original photo will have been a negative from which copies were made. This will be either an 'original' copy made with the technology available at the time, or a more recent copy (still of the same image), made with contemporary technology, possibly even scanned.

a) With Andrew in 'Discussion'.
b) This smacks more of certification than of art, as in 'I hereby certify that (the overleaf) is a true likeness of Fred....' - otherwise the orig. (text) would surely have said something like 'Umseitig: Portraitfoto von XX [Kopie]' - that's assuming the txt is part of an exh. cat. or a biography, etc. False assumption? More context?

What is the image on the front side? If it it is somehow a treatment (painting, collage, etc.) of the photo on the reverse side, then I would simply use "show": "The photograph on the reverse side shows the original image of XXX." ("on the reverse side" could, of course, be phrased in a million other ways depending on the register/context of the text)

11:44 May 11, 2011 

It looks like it is an original, not a copy of it.

11:42 May 11, 2011 

if this is actually a copy of the original photograph, or do you have more info regarding the actual relationship between the original and what you have here?

11:18 May 11, 2011 

is the name of the person shown on the photo.

11:16 May 11, 2011 

'von' = 'by', 'of' or 'from', depending on what XXX stands for.
Photography is an art form, a skill, a hobby etc. I think what you have here is a 'photo' or 'photograph'.
For 'umseitig', try 'overleaf' after the noun.
