{"product_id":"solar-sisters-pair-of-antique-solar-enlargements","title":"Solar Sisters | Pair of Antique Solar Enlargements","description":"\u003cp\u003eEarly 20th century antique solar enlargements of earlier antique photos- daguerreotypes or ambrotypes from the 1850s-1860s, judging by the clothes. There was no way to enlarge a daguerreotype or ambrotype, most of which were pocket sized. Essentially, solar enlargements were hand drawn and\/or painted copies using a projected image of the original photo as a guide: They used glass \u0026amp; light to project an image of the photo onto paper or canvas. Enlargements were usually done with charcoal, chalk, and pastels; sometimes paint. Quality varies widely depending on how sensitive the artist was. This pair in aquarelle or gouache is very, very good. I think they might be sisters- certainly they came from the same household, so I’m selling them as a pair. Presented as found in the original frames. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roses \u0026 Rue Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45074695061704,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/2188\/7432\/files\/8BC2EACA-FA4C-4622-9C3C-C43BA92EA0BA.jpg?v=1777815895","url":"https:\/\/rosesandrueantiques.com\/products\/solar-sisters-pair-of-antique-solar-enlargements","provider":"Roses \u0026 Rue Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
