A charming portrait of a young girl, an albumen print that was popular in Europe and the United States, starting with France, in the late 19th century. Includes a mat. (Frame not included) Albumen prints were invented in 1850 by French photographer Louis-Désiré Blanquart-Evrard. They are also known as "chicken egg paper" because they use egg whites. The soft luster of the egg white is a characteristic feature. The deep sepia tones of the albumen print convey the atmosphere of a time more than 150 years ago.
