About This Item
New York: Camera Club of New York, 1899. Published in Camera Notes, volume 3, number I (July 1899). Printed as a photogravure by the Photochrome Engraving Company, a company that Alfred Stieglitz had founded. Image size is 7 3/4 inches by 4 3/4 inches. René Le Bègue was a Parisian photographer who founded the Photo-Club de Paris and was the first French photographer elected to England's Linked Ring. Alfred Stieglitz recognized his talent when he included six of Le Bègue's photographs in his personal collection. The semi-nude portrait offered here is typical for Le Bègue, who almost exclusively photographed nude women. The photogravure is in excellent condition: a superb impression that is in virtually as-new condition. Now archivally matted in an off-white passe-partout and ready to be framed in a standard 11" by 14" frame.. First Edition Thus. Paper. Fine. Illus. by René Le Bègue. 7 3/4 inches by 4 3/4 Inches. Photo.
