A black-and-white, soft-focus photo of a space princess in a futuristic uniform, posing with a large, ornate telescope in a photographer's studio.

A celestial royal poses for a studio portrait, a popular format for early glamour photography. The image's characteristic soft-focus, glowing quality comes from the Wollensak Verito lens, a favorite of Pictorialist photographers. The final retouched gelatin silver print has the rich tones and dreamy, luminous look of the era's finest artistic portraiture.
