Life
Lehnert was born in Groß Aupa, Eastern Giant Mountains, northern Bohemia, Kingdom of Bohemia, Austria-Hungary (now Velká Úpa, a district of Pec pod Sněžkou (German: Petzer unter der Schneekoppe) in the Czech Republic).[1]
He first travelled to Tunis in 1904, and in 1904 he again visited with his friend, and subsequent business partner, Ernst Heinrich Landrock. The pair established a photographic studio in Tunis and worked closely for more than 20 years. They later established studios in successively, Munich, Leipzig and Cairo, publishing the works as by "Lehnert & Landrock".[2]
Lehnert spent the last part of his life at Redeyef, Gafza Oasis, Tunisia, where he died.
