About this work

Foreign artists and photographers in Rome, including the British photographers James Anderson and Robert Macpherson, gathered at Caffè Grecco near the Spanish Steps. There was also a French community, to which Flachéron belonged. For this monumental photograph, which he took with a wet collodion glass plate negative, he used a huge camera and must have had a darkroom nearby.
