[Sculptures of Hylas and the Nymphs, Allegorical Figures of the Three

A page of four albumen prints shows marble statuary displayed in a glass-walled conservatory. Upper left, a group of nymphs surrounds a standing youth; upper right, three draped women stand together; lower left, a winged figure embraces a woman; lower right, a wooden-floored gallery holds several statues. Fine tonal detail and even light.

Look closer: A small bust on a pedestal sits at the far right edge of the lower-left print.
