Item Overview

Description

Medium: original physiognotrace engraving, 1799.

Saint Memin pioneered a technique called Physiognotrace (or Physionotrace) Engraving which produced remarkably lifelike portraits before the advent of photography. The plate measures 2 3/4 x 2 5/8 inches. Printed on cream wove paper, the full sheet size is 9 3/4 x 7 inches. The inscription reads "Drawn by Valdenuit & engraved by St. Memin New York". The date of printing of this impression is not known. A previous owner's annotation at the bottom of the sheet identifies the subject of this portrait.
