Louis-Rémy Robert - Self-Portrait (negative) - 1998.195 - Cleveland Museum of Art
Summary
After the announcement of the waxed paper negative process in 1851, Louis-Rémy Robert used the technique with remarkable results. In this self-portrait negative, the elegantly dressed photo-grapher stood in an animated profile pose. With great success, Robert exploited the inherent softness of the paper negative and its ability to render broad areas of light and shadow.
