About this work

This is a 1863–64 photo of a marble bust. It’s by Louise Laffon, a French photographer. The work sits between Impressionism and Realism. The Victoria and Albert Museum started collecting photos in 1852. It was the first museum to do both: collect and later display them. That’s pretty unusual for its time.
