Peut-on la contempler ?
Amsterdam, Pays-Bas
Le propriétaire est connu. Si elle est exposée aujourd’hui, le musée ne le dit pas, et l’on ne nous a pas appris à deviner.
Ready-while-you-wait portraits as souvenirs were taken at the beach, the zoo, and at cafes at tourist sites; everywhere the tintypist could set up his booth. They show informal cheerful and jolly groups radiating a sense of fun and pleasure. They were especially popular among clandestine and gay couples. This form of photography guaranteed discretion; there was only one single picture.
