專家說明

The print, deliberately made to resemble an ivorytype, was acquired directly from Mapplethorpe at the Bowery home of Sam Wagstaff. Mapplethorpe knew that Miller and Plummer were collecting ivorytypes at the time so he made this specifically for them. Ivorytypes were popular in the 1850s and 1860s. A photographic image was printed on an ivory-colored material, hand-colored and highly waxed and polished to resemble a miniature portrait painted on ivory.
