This artist made a single photogravure portrait of writer Knut Hamsun in 1896, late in the 19th century. The image shows Hamsun in a plain dark suit with a high collar, looking past the camera—simple and direct, no extra drama. Photogravure was a new way to turn photos into printed art, often used for book illustrations. Want to see how a writer looked through a 19th-century lens? Tap the photogravure titled *Knut Hamsun*.
