A Splash of Photo History Comes to Light

Almost as intriguing as the discovery of two Edward Steichen photographs is the story of how they made their way to one of the world’s leading photography museums.

Neat.

Very cool. I wish I wasn't leaving Rochester so I could see them. The Eastman House is great.

Make that 32 flavors:)

The first photo (the woman with flowers) is stunning! The second shows just how far chrome skin-tone accuracy has come: from "Argyria" to Astia.

Thanks Darr!

Yes, that first one seems reminiscent of Klimt.

I'd never heard of Gustav Klimt until your post - I see your point.
