[BCMA] Looking for Photographic Process Term

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hi Sonia,

Adding to what Lauren said, it indeed looks like a crayon portrait (
https://www.truthinphotography.org/crayon-portraits.html). Depending on
when this was made, the underlying photographic process could also be a
silver gelatin print.

Best,
Brandon Leung
