Notes on this view:

This print was likely made in the early 1920s as evidenced by the sitter’s style of dress. While the leaders of the Photo Secession began to move away from Pictorialism by the late 1910s, the movement remained popular with amateur fine art photographers until the 1930s. Many photographers championed the bromoil transfer process because it allowed them a great amount of control over the final image. They could print on a variety of papers and use a variety of colors of ink. By hand applying the ink they had control over contrast and detail, and the process gave a desired soft, painterly image.
