This print shows a man named Leslie Henson. It’s a negative-type portrait by an artist called Swoff. The work is from the late 19th or early 20th century. Negative-type prints flip the usual light-and-dark tones. They make shadows look light and lights look dark. That trick makes faces look ghostly or stark.
