A fascinating early amateur collage of a salt print on blue paper. The portrait of Raoul de Belbeuf is made by an unknown French photographer in November 1853.

The trimmed salt print is mounted on blue paper with annotations in brown fountain pen: "Raoul de Belbeuf d'Après nature, Villebon, 9bre '53 Villebon."

ca. 23 x 8,1 cm (24x30 mat)
