Up for Sale is Antique Victorian Late 1800's Photo Portrait of Dapper Man. In Antique Original Wooden Ornate Bronze Accented Frame with Convex Bubble Domed Glass. Hand coloured albumen print over 100 years old. In 1850, Louis-Desire Blanquart Evrard improved upon Talbot's salt prints by introducing albumen paper. Photographers would coat a thin sheet of paper with egg white which would hold light-sensitive silver salt on the surface of the paper, preventing image fading.

Once it was dry, albumen prints were used just like salted-paper prints and the image would form by the darkening properties of the sun on the chemicals. Most of the surviving photographs from the 19th century are on albumen paper. Albumen prints take on a rich, purple-brown hue. When you examine these photos, look for paper fibers through the albumen overlay.

You can also usually see a fine lateral cracking across the glossy photo surface. The support is typically thin and also coated with albumen.

Frame 22"H x 14"W x 1D. Photo Print 19-3/4"H x 11-3/4"W. Excellent antique condition with minor evidence of use. Paper backing is missing and can be easily restored.
