| Marks and inscriptions | "These sun prints were made by utilising the most primitive form of photo-sensitivity: the tendency of pigmented paper to fade when exposed to strong sunlight. Sugar paper was overlaid with images. The paper was placed under glass and left in a sunny garden. Further exposure to light will destroy them"--Inner label. |
