Paul Burty Haviland: Portrait of a Man, ca. 1908 - platinum print on paper (Smithsonian)

“Haviland’s Portrait of a Man, made about the same time he met Stieglitz, is an impressionistic study rather than a conventional likeness. Although Haviland continued making portraits upon returning to France after World war I, they lacked the engaging inventiveness of his work in New York.” - Merry A. Foresta. American Photographs: The First Century (Washington, D.C.: National Museum of American Art with the Smithsonian Institution Press, 1996).
