The long and thin proportions of this photo accentuate the slender build of the very proper waiter in late 19th century Portland.
The long and thin proportions of this photo accentuate the slender build of the very proper waiter in late 19th century Portland. While this was almost certainly a paid portrait, it has many elements of a purely artistic photograph, from the high contrast of the jacket and apron to the diagonal lines of the studio backdrop. I especially like the patterns of folds in the apron, shown close up in detail view 2.
