Notes on this view:

This studio portrait taken in Buenos Aires, Argentina is an early 20th century black and white silver gelatin photograph. The brown image color is a result of sulfur toning, a treatment commonly applied to studio portraits to bring the more appealing warm-tones to the skin and faces of the sitters. The toning also contributed to the chemical stability of the photograph, which accounts for this photograph's overall lack of image deterioration. The photographer's name and the address of the studio are marked on the frame of the mount.
