[Rarebooks] FS: 1900s William Dassonville Platinum Portrait Photo of Girl as Harlequin

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

1900s William Dassonville Platinum Portrait Photo of a Girl as 
Harlequin.

William Dassonville [1879-1957], “ ‘Whether photography is or is not an 
art is no longer in question. It is,’ declared William Dassonville in 
1902 at one of his lectures on photography as a fine art. He ran a 
commercial portrait studio in San Francisco, making landscapes as his 
artistic expression. In 1904 Dassonville became secretary of the 
California Camera Club, then the world's largest amateur photographer's 
organization, and also contributed to Camera Craft, the club's 
influential journal. In the 1920s Dassonville created a velvety surfaced 
photographic printing paper that was a favorite among Pictorialist 
photographers, though the formula is now lost. He sold his studio in 
1924 in order to manufacture the paper full time” [J. Paul Getty 
Museum].
