Could someone help me translate the back of a photo that's written in
German. It's a little bit obscured by writing underneath and some spots,
but I'm hoping someone can make out the gist of it.

You can find it at:

Thanks for your help,

Hello,

due to a new line in the address, I couldn´t open the file. But it´s easy, if
you click at the address and then add only a "l" at the cache (html insted of
htm). Unfortunately it is very hard to identify the text.
Best regards
Rolf

i had a try but even with manipulating the photo i could not read it.
is it possible for you to post a larger image just of the text?

Dear Renee,

although I don't have very much experience in old handwritings, here's my guess:

Das sind Meine
Jahren 86 und Viel
Gefahren und Erfahren
den 26ten Juni 1882
Anton Königbauer

In English this would be literally:
These are my years: 86. And travelled and experienced much.
June 26th, 1882
Anton Königbauer (very unsure about the last name)

Maybe someone can continue here. Anyway, it was fun deciphering!

Best regards,
Steffen

I agree with the previous readings, but I think the name might be
Königsberger - impossible to tell at this size . . . .

Cheers,
