Ars photographicaThe Art of Photography
Breathed on by the mirrors of the sun,A brilliant image appearsHow beautifully it reflects the forehead,The light of the eye, the charm of the mouth.
Oh marvelous power of the mind,Nature’s new creationNot even the hand of Appeles, the Master,Could have produced it more effectively.
Pope Leo XIII (r. 1878-1903)
