W. Downey (English, c. 1828–1908) and

Herr Joseph Joachim

1885

Celebrating the renowned Hungarian violinist through carbon print's rich tonal range, this portrait captures Joachim at the height of his international fame. The photographic technique produces the deep blacks and subtle gradations appropriate for formal Victorian portraiture of cultural luminaries.
