Representative record: the collection's holdings in this category are publicly documented, but this specific object is an illustrative example of the documented type rather than an individually confirmed holding. A print of Edward Steichen's 'The Flatiron' — the gum-bichromate nocturne that proved photography could be a fine art. Steichen prints are documented among the collection's pictorialist and modernist holdings in Tate exhibition coverage.
