Enjoying your new book? :)

I was just looking at Steichen's work, and this poem reminded me of one of his photographs.

Very much!

That's a photograph? Looks like a painting.

It's the printing process: gum bichromate. It does give rather painterly images. It's from 1904, which makes it a very early colour photograph.
