This photograph shows Christ in the Garden of Olives on an enamelled earthenware altar piece. Made in 1863–64 by Louise Laffon, it blends Impressionist and Realist styles. The Victoria and Albert Museum began collecting photographs in 1852. It was the first museum to display them, using early photos like Laffon’s to teach artists and students.
