Shown In London In 1856: This technique, which came to be called combination printing, appears to have been used by Gustave Le Gray of Paris to produce his dramatic seascapes, which were widely praised when they were shown in London in 1856. Making multiple prints from several negatives was carried to an extreme by Oscar G. Rejlander, a Swede working in Wolverhampton, England in his allegorical picture of 1857, The Two Ways of Life?

HARRIS, Frank (1856-1931), British-American editor and author. He is remembered chiefly as a powerful personality, who knew and wrote about people more famous and talented than he.
James Thomas ( "Frank") Harris deliberately falsified the facts of his life, and the details are uncertain. He probably was born in Galway, Ireland, on Feb. 14, 1856. |
