Louise Laffon took a photograph of a marble statue of Julius Caesar between 1863 and 1864. The image fits in with Impressionism and Realism. It’s a black-and-white photo. The Victoria and Albert Museum started collecting photos in 1852. Its founder saw photography as a way to help artists and students. Laffon’s work was overlooked for years. Look up the artist.
