(27.4 × 21.6 cm), Photographs, Pierre Emile Joseph Pécarrère (French, born 1816), This idiosyncratic view of the thirteenth-century figures on the south porch of Chartres cathedral reveals this artist's expressive use of the limitations of the camera's narrow field of vision and of the propensity of the paper negative to accentuate shadow and soften detail
