Sarony's living pictures : photographed from life. Vol. 1, no. 1, 1894

Sarony, Napoleon, 1821-1896 · 1894

Includes "11 Half-tone illustrations from staged photographs of famous paintings and photographs, some in two colors...This wonderful piece of kitsch was probably in the shop of the Photo-Chrome Co. just as Stieglitz was contemplating his departure. It appears that there is more to his involvement in this company and the experiments in half-tone that took place during his tenure there than has yet been investigated."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 6
