The Pond-Moonlight
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pond—Moonlight is a pictorialist photograph by Edward Steichen. The photograph was taken in 1904 in Mamaroneck, New York, and features a forest across a pond, with part of the moon appearing over the horizon in a gap in the trees. The Pond—Moonlight is one of the first color photographs ever taken, and was created using the autochrome process. Only three copies are known to exist. In February 2006, a print of the photograph was sold for US$2.9 million, at the time, the highest price ever paid for a photograph at auction. [1]
