"1 photolithograph (chine collee) of a portrait of L.H. Bradford, the inventor of this photolithographic process. The portrait of Bradford is possibly a self-portrait and may have been one of his in-camera studies. This important image is the second photolithograph published in the United States. The first was published one month earlier and was a portrait of James A. Cutting who was Bradford's partner in this photolithographic patent."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 19
