This photograph shows a figure of an angel. The image was taken by Louise Laffon, a French photographer, between 1863 and 1864. This was a time when photography was still a relatively new medium, and the Victoria and Albert Museum was one of the first to collect and exhibit photographs. You can learn more about this style of photography by looking into the movement of Realism.
