A charming albumen print portrait of a "Young Girl," popular in Europe and the United States, starting with France in the late 9th century. Framed, with a fitted box. Albumen prints were invented in 1850 by French photographer Louis-Désiré Blanquart-Evrard. They are also known as "egg white paper" because they use egg whites. The soft luster of the egg white is a characteristic feature. The deep sepia tones of albumen prints convey the atmosphere of a time more than 150 years ago.
