I purchased a really cool victorian children's portrait at auction today. It is definitely from the mid 1870's - 90's. It looks like a real photograph that has been redone to look like a chalk drawing or charcoal drawing. It's a print not an original artist rendering. Is there a technical term for this sort of Victorian Portrait?
I've seen this technique many times, but have always wondered how it was done and what was the significance.

Marvey: Is your picture perhaps a hand-tinted photo? Sometimes artists added color by hand to black and white photographic images. Could you post an picture of this piece?
