| Albert van Vegten (Netherlands, Den Haag) [Attributed to] Portrait of Jacobus Cornelis Livingston (1899-1956) 1923 Cyanotype, on cotton 11.3 x 8.5 cm Collection RKD / Netherlands Institute for Art History Inventory no: 1023908 LL/72560 A translation of the index card reads "‘This photograph on cotton is light and wash proof.’ ‘This photograph is unique because only two copy’s of this procedure [technique] exist. The other one is still owned by the photographer. This photograph is light and wash proof. Made in 1923.’
I'm indebted to Marieke de Natris (Documentalist Portrait Photography 1840-1920, RKD, 18 Jan 2016) for bringing this to my attention.
