Frederick Hollyer. Photograph, possibly the platinum process of The Story of Psyche by Harry Bates. Side panels: 7 ½ x 5 inches inches. Central panel: 15 ½ x 5 inches. Private collection.
According to the extensive Wikipedia article, Hollyer appears to have made a living photographing paintings and sculpture from the 1870s on. In M.H.
