Rulo c. 1900

"Rulo" is a cyanotype photograph by Agnes Winterbottom Cooney, a prominent photographer from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Created around 1900, the image depicts a man seated on a couch, reading a newspaper. The use of the cyanotype process gives the photograph a distinct blue hue, characteristic of this photographic technique. The photograph is a snapshot of everyday life, capturing a moment of leisure and reflection. Cooney’s work often explored domestic scenes, highlighting the routines and relationships of individuals in their private spaces.
