The Pond Moonlight

The Pond—Moonlight by Edward Steichen, 1904

The Pond—Moonlight is a pictorialist photograph by Edward Steichen. The photograph was taken in 1904 in Mamaroneck, New York, and features a forest across a pond, with part of the moon appearing over the horizon in a gap in the trees. The Pond—Moonlight is one of the first color photographs ever taken, and was created using the autochrome
process. Only three copies are known to exist. In February 2006, a
print of the photograph was sold for US$2.9 million, the highest price
ever paid for a photograph at auction.
