DescriptionThe bill states that it is for 8 glass plate negatives of paintings and drawings by Raphael in the Esterhazy Gallery in Vienna, and lists them:

'Madonna and child, surrounded by angels'

'Head of Castor'

The photographer was paid 12 florins per item; the other costs shown are for tips for the Gallery staff, transport and other incidental costs, and 10% 'provision', presumably Antaria's commission.
