Leon Van Loo (1841–1907) was an American photographer and art promoter. Born 12 August 1841, in Ghent, Belgium, he moved to Cincinnati, Ohio in 1858, when he opened a photography gallery. After doing well in the cotton trade after the Civil War, he retired early in 1866. He subsequently spent time travelling to Europe and collecting art, which he displayed in Cincinnati. In 1875, he introduced a new kind of photography he called "ideal." Photographs using this technique are printed on zinc oxide
