Adolfo Amandus Wilhelm Charles Biener; (also Adolpho) September 30, 1873 - November 14 1939, was a German born photographer and post card publisher. His father was Johann August Detlev Biener and his mother was Johanna Sophie Marie Noha. In 1899 he married German born Luisa Adela Mina Kraft in Guatemala. He was working in Guatemala from around 1915 until 1930’s. He also did work in Mexico. He produced color cards and photographs expecially in the 1920s. He hand-colored a master copy using an underdeveloped black and white image. He then printed the colored photograph. His work has been said to be very similar in subject and style to Alberto Valdeveallano. Many photos depicts archaeological sites, earthquakes and portraits.
