MINER'S COSTUME Mayer & Pierson 1857 Belgium salt

IN A MINER'S COSTUME, by Mayer & Pierson. 11 3/8" x 8 ¾" salted paper print from a wet-collodion negative, 1857. A costume ball was organized in Bruxelles by the Duke of Brabant, and the printer Cannelle published a souvenir album [of engravings?] This and the next lot are unique photograph proofs found in the printer's archive. This is M. de Sébille with a miner's light on top of his hat, but surely too much finery for working in a mine. Pinhole and bend upper left corner. [D3-]
