Vitality–Yvette Guilbert

Edward Steichen · 1901

This is Vitality–Yvette Guilbert — a photograph by Steichen, nineteen oh one. It's gelatin silver print, printed later, about 35 by 27 centimeters. It is among the darkest surfaces here: measured across the whole picture it gives back very little light.
