In this portfolio, Laure Albin-Guillot used the poem by Marcelle Maurette as inspiration for her suite of 16 photographs. Albin-Guillot favored the Fresson photographic process, a form of carbon printing which allowed for great latitude and control over the final print, and is among the most permanent of continuous-tone photographic processes.
