This calotype portrait, created in 1843 by William Henry Fox Talbot, depicts Henneman in profile. Talbot is known for his pioneering work in photography, specifically his development of the calotype process, which allowed for the creation of negative images that could be used to produce multiple prints. The image, housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, is a classic example of early photographic portraiture. The soft focus and subtle details of the print capture the sitter's features and offer insight into the early evolution of photographic technology.
