1842 1843 Calotype Negative Salted Paper
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of a British man from the early 19th century. Taken between 1842 and 1843, this salted paper print showcases the artistry and skill of calotype photography. Measuring at just 8.9 by 6.4 cm, or approximately 3 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches, it is remarkable how such a small image can convey so much character. The subject's piercing gaze draws you in, as if he has a story to tell that transcends time. His facial features are finely detailed, revealing every wrinkle and expression lines that speak volumes about his life experiences. The use of salted paper gives the photograph a unique texture and tonal range, adding depth to the composition. The delicate balance between light and shadow enhances the overall mood of the portrait. As we admire this piece from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to an era when photography was still in its infancy. This intimate glimpse into history reminds us of our shared humanity across generations.
