Louise Laffon made a photograph of a marble bust of Lucilla in 1863–64. The photo belongs to a moment when photography was new to museums. It sits in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s early collection. The V&A started collecting photographs in 1852. Henry Cole saw how photos could help artists and students see more clearly. Take a look at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
