[Farmyard Scene] 1850 - 1854

"[Farmyard Scene]" is a 19th century salted paper print by the photographer V. Dijon, depicting a scene of a farmyard in the mid-19th century. The image features a partially obscured barn, with a thatched roof and wooden walls, and a collection of farm tools and implements laid out in front of the barn. The composition is simple yet effective, capturing the everyday reality of rural life in a straightforward and realistic style. The image was likely taken in a rural setting. This photograph, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, demonstrates the early development of photographic processes and serves as a valuable historical record of daily life.
