[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 24146, member: 33"]It is what is known as a solar enlargement. Other names for these are crayon enlargement and crayon portrait. They are enlarged photographs that were printed fairly lightly and heavily embellished with other things (charcoal, pencil, paint, etc.). These were extremely popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Here is some info: 19th century publication: [url]http://www.gutenberg.org/files/30248/30248-h/30248-h.htm[/url] Another from 19th century: [url]http://books.google.com/books?id=JV84AQAAIAAJ&pg=PA12&lpg=PA12&dq=%22solar+enlargement%22&source=bl&ots=0KoH07Z_jB&sig=0iYaSs7xRAEF01zpV1TjGoS3s5E&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vOhQVJWNIJajyAS_qICwCA&ved=0CDsQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=%22solar%20enlargement%22&f=false[/url] [url]http://notesonphotographs.org/index.php?title=Solar_Enlarger[/url] [url]http://brightbytes.com/woodward.html[/url][/QUOTE]
