Commentary
Gustave Le Gray is the most the important 19th-century French photographer. Camera chemistry in Le Gray's time would not capture the sky. Le Grey was composite printing so well that no one figured out that his prints were made from two separate negatives. He had a group of negatives of favorite clouds. It is atmospheric because it is only possible to get detail on one negative or the other.
Materials
Printed from a collodion negative.
