Description:
|
A salt paper print from a glass negative. A view of an arrangement of Spring flowers by Mary Dillwyn. Mary was one of Britain’s most notable early female photographers and one of her favourite subjects was flowers. In this early example she chose a difficult subject because green was a notoriously fickle colour for early photographic emulsions to render satisfactorily. In this untrimmed print you see the full extent of the negative, with the bottom right corner seemingly left uncoated for handling.
