    To add to Jason's question, a Packard or a pack horse?

    George Hurrell opened up a studio which had a stucco wall painted in off white paint and he was thrilled to death with it as a background. Yousef Karsh preferred natural surroundings as background. Richard Avedon preferred a stark white background. Like Jason said "when?". I will also add "who?".

    You can check this Grey Solid Muslin Backdrop that I've found on Photographicbackdrop.com That could be a perfect fit for vintage photos.
