Héliographie

Item Information

Title:
Héliographie
Description:
"Possibly a plate made by Placet ca. 1859. This print bears a very strong resemblance to Placet's first attempts and is a very early and unusual French example. The small size coupled with the coarseness of the grain and the emphasis on the linearity in the photograph make for a striking early print."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 21
