Say carrots! This snapshot is a real hare-loom. 🐰📸 This charming duo, captured on a carte de visite, is featured in "The New Art: American Photography, 1839–1910." The exhibition explores how 19th-century camera culture transformed American visual life and introduced a new era of social media. Bringing together rare and rediscovered works from all corners of the country, it charts the phenomenal success of photography as a cultural, commercial, and artistic preoccupation. Wishing a hoppy Easter to all who celebrate! ✨ 📷 Unknown maker, Cat and Rabbit, 1864–68. Albumen silver print from glass negative. William L.
