Housed in the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, Washington, DC, the original is an albumen print. Note: According to the National Portrait Gallery, an albumen print is one made using albumen paper, popular for photographic printing between 1850 and 1900. Thin paper was coated with a layer of egg white (albumen) containing salt and sensitized with a silver nitrate solution, then using daylight under a negative. The resulting paper had a smooth surface with a fine sheen. Albumen prints could be toned with a gold solution which gave a rich purplish brown color to the print and reduced the risk of fading. Reproduced here in high resolution on white archival acid free and lignin free 70 lb paper, buffered with a 2% calcium carbonate reserve to prevent environmental contamination.
