Rip Van Winkle: a legend of the Kaatskill Mountains

By

Abstract

"4 carbon prints from Sarony photographs of Jefferson, one of the carbon prints is unmounted and one of the photographs is from a different negative. These show how in a single publication varying plates may be inserted into copies. Also the one unmounted carbon print gives the student an idea of the paper weight and curl factors connected with this print medium."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 37.
