This is my current all-time favorite photo, an 1876 image by Gaudenzio Marconi that literally shows it's intended use by an artist. Those grid lines are a device used to insure consistent sizing when an artist creates a larger image from a photo. The model is nothing less than beautiful, and the pose is utterly sublime. Marconi died at age 44. What a loss!
Great post~ Thank you!
