Vier vrouwen en een kind achter een kerkraam

Adelaide Hanscom Leeson was an American photographer and pictorialist active in the early twentieth century. Working primarily in platinum and gum bichromate processes, she created soft-focus compositions of landscapes and domestic interiors that emphasized atmospheric mood over sharp detail. Based in California, Leeson was part of the pictorialist movement that treated photography as a fine art medium rather than documentary tool. This profile will be expanded as more verified source material becomes available.
