National Photographic Record and Survey is a 1899 photographic by Benjamin Stone, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a marble statue. A woman sits on a throne-like chair, dressed in heavy robes and a crown. Her right hand rests on a small object, and a lion crouches at her feet. The statue is detailed, with folds in the fabric and a serious expression on her face. The photo was taken in 1899 at Windsor Castle, as noted in the top corner. The statue’s base has Latin words carved into it. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more statues like this.
The black-and-white photograph, mounted on card, depicts a sculpture.
