Portrait (approx. 1910).

Hello:

Look at a photo of study of my grandmother Antonia Gavín Palús.

The photo was taken approximately in 1910 and it is very possible that the lens was a Petzval or similar, since this lens had f 3 and was the best for the portrait due to his big luminosity and to the soft definition of his images.

Bests regards: David
