Notes

A family thought to be direct descendents of Cuvelier; to Werner Bokelberg; to Rolf Mayer; to an American gentleman.

Eugène Cuvelier, 88, pl. 167.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Eugène Cuvelier, Photographer in the Circle of Corot," 1996-97.

This is believed to be the only extant salt print of this remarkable image.

The direct relationship between 19th-century fine art photographic practice and painting is a subject curators and academics continue to explore. Today, scholars are increasingly focused on the work of Cuvelier, a master photographer who was influenced by leading artists associated with the Barbizon School, particularly Millet and Rousseau.

In addition to the professional associations enjoyed by these artists, there were also personal ones: the highly-regarded landscape painter Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot was, apparently, best man at Cuvelier''s wedding.
