This image is a small terra cotta bas-relief featuring a female figure and foliage. It was made in 1863–64 by Louise Laffon, a French photographer. The photo was part of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s early collection, the first museum to both collect and show photographs back in the 1850s. If you like this mix of art and early photography, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
