A treasure from the earliest days of photography!
Henry Fox Talbot was a pioneer of photography and one of the first photographers to use photography to reproduce works of art. He was also the first official photographer at the British Museum in London.
Here is a historical photograph from around 1842 of Antonio Canova’s classical marble sculpture: ‘The Three Graces’ (1757-1822).
The original photo is approx. 15×12 cm in size. This is therefore an enlargement and you can of course see ‘grain’ and other historical irregularities which only enhance the charm of the art print.
– Xeuxis Vintage Edition: We have carefully digitally optimized this historical photo.
