Woman in Lorraine Dress, c. 1860s-70s. Creator: Adolphe Braun (French, 1812-1877)
Woman in Lorraine Dress, c. 1860s-70s. This portrait depicting an ethnic type and costume--a woman from the Lorraine region--was probably made around 1871, when the Franco-Prussian War resulted in the loss of the French regions of Alsace and Lorraine to Germany. The image would have resonated with emotion and political sentiment as well as folkloric interest for 19th-century viewers. Brauns photography firm, one of the worlds largest at the time, was part entrepreneurial endeavor, part artists atelier. To remain competitive, he experimented with the latest technical innovations. This prints exquisite detail and subtle tonal range are due to Brauns use of a new carbon printing process
