About this work
Both painters and photographers worked in Fontainebleau Forest. In choosing forest landscapes, photography and art came very close together. Cuvelier used paper negatives, which yielded a softer focus than glass negatives: in making the print, the paper fibre of the negative was also printed. Had he made negatives using ‘modern’ textureless glass, the outlines would have been harder.
