Scholarly Remarks and Key Set Data
Remarks
In a conversation with Stieglitz, Nancy Newhall recorded that, “In 1908 he [Stieglitz] photographed her [Kitty] again, long curls, hair ribbon, starched, frilly summer dress, in Autochrome, a new color process he, Steichen, and Eugene were experimenting with” (19 March 1942, in Nancy Newhall, unpublished manuscript, 45, copy in NGA files).
A variant is at George Eastman Museum, Rochester (74:0052:0079).
