About This Image

Signed, dated and location (\"h. Le Secq, Chartres. 1852\") reversed out of the negative in the lower left. Title written in pencil on verso. A very rare and important print (perhaps only one or two known as a salt print) for Le Secq\'s early work. Most such prints are in institutions. Very few are in private hands. See: Janis and Sartre, Henri Le Secq Photographie de 1850 a 1860, pl.270, p.137 (the copies there in Panotype, not salt prints). Provenance: probably from the collection of an art history professor; Porta Portese\'s antique market in Rome; an Italian conservationist.

Most U.S. domestic Fed Ex ground shipping (Media Mail for books) is free of charge except for larger and heavier items, or unless the buyer wants express shipping (email us your requests for the latter). International shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania buyers must pay appropriate local sales tax. International clients are responsible for their local customs duties and taxes, which will be charged by Fed Ex, which will contact the client prior to delivery.
