The George Eastman Museum is located in Rochester, New York, on the estate of George Eastman, the pioneer of popular photography and motion picture film. Founded in 1947 as an independent nonprofit institution, it is the world’s oldest photography museum and one of the oldest film archives. The museum holds unparalleled collections—encompassing several million objects—in the fields of photography, cinema, and photographic and cinematographic technology, and photographically illustrated books. The institution is also a longtime leader in film preservation and photographic conservation. There is always something new and different to engage, educate, or entertain you at the Eastman Museum:

    She's a very attractive young woman. I can see she wanted to make a proper impression to the viewer.

    Does the title really begin “Le” and not with “La” (which would be grammatically correct)?
  • Jessica Johnston said:
    This photograph is part of an album that has handwritten captions. I will look and see if it is indeed a La rather than a Le. Thanks!
  • Enric Martinez said:
    Really interesting as an early example of photography as art.
  • Pixel Wrangler said:
    Is this photograph also attributed to Charles Hugo as well as Auguste Vacquerie?

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Photo Kaleidoscope (award any 2 photos from the pool), and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Nathalie Boisard-Beudin said:
    That is a wonderful shot. I do not quite understand why this picture (and the rest of this collection) is indicated as having no known copyright restrictions when the author is still alive (and hopefully still taking pictures).
  • Alison Nordström said:
    The artist gave the copyright to George Eastman House when he donated his photographs. We've chosen not to restrict their use on Flickr.
  • BigBean said:
    This photo is being discussed in one of the projects in the Flickr Commons group, and we would love to have this added to the group pool!
