This photo shows an ancient Etrusco-Greek bronze vase shot by Louise Laffon around 1863-64. It’s part of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s early photography collection. The same year, the museum became the first to exhibit photographs, thanks to director Henry Cole. He wanted artists and students to use photos to study historic objects like this vase.
