"The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each to himself. And that is the most complicated thing on earth".
This picture was taken near Steichen's home in Voulangis, France. This original was a palladium print. The palladium process was similar to the platinum process but palladium was substituted for the more expensive metal. Both types of print were more stable than the silver print They also produced a wide range of subtle grey tones which works particularly well with this subject.
