Alfred Stieglitz autochrome, 1907.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/367869028

This collection contains one autochrome in a glass mount, 4 7/8 x 3 5/8 in. (124 x 92 mm.), produced by Alfred Stieglitz in 1907. The autochrome is titled "Kitty" and is of the artist's daughter Katherine. John Wood described this autochrome: "A variant of this portrait of Stieglitz's daughter Katherine is in the collection of the Chicago Art Institute. It is one of the most beautiful of the many portraits of Kitty, who was often photographed by Stieglitz and was the subject of autochromes by Steichen and Eugene. Tragically within days of the birth of her son in 1923, she succumbed to post partum dementia praecox and remained institutionalized until her death in 1971." (See: Wood, The Art of the Autochrome: The Birth of Color Photography, pl. 9.).
