1900s William Dassonville Platinum Portrait Photo of Four Children
Dressed as Harlequins.
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].
