Description:

The Hobart Statesmen men's lacrosse team represents the Hobart and William Smith Colleges in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The program was created in 1898 and plays its home games at Boswell Field. This is a rare team photo as this is slightly different than the one that was used in the 1904-1905 Hobart College yearbook. The platinum / palladium process was invented in the first half of the 19th century but a reliable commercial process was not introduced until the 1880's. It was popular for practical reasons as platinum is very stable so prints do not deteriorate over time. It is a very permanent image, and was highly valued for this reason. The main attraction of platinotype is, however, aesthetic. The process produces wonderfully rich grey-tones and a matte finish due to the print being laid directly on paper without the need for an emulsion. Those characteristics are demonstrated in this wonderful photograph.
