EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mrs Hall, Newhaven" transports us back to the mid-19th century. Taken between 1843 and 1847 by renowned photographers David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, this salt paper print from a calotype negative captures the essence of a working-class fisherwoman. In this portrait, Mrs Hall stands proudly in her traditional costume, wearing an apron and headscarf that signify her occupation as a fishwife. Her weathered face tells stories of hard work and resilience. With a wicker basket on one arm and holding onto her scarf with the other hand, she exudes strength and determination. The Victorian era was marked by social divisions, but through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into the lives of those often overlooked - the working class. The image is rich in detail; every wrinkle on Mrs Hall's face speaks volumes about her life experiences. The use of salted print technique adds depth to the monochromatic composition while preserving its authenticity. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of how photography has evolved over time. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection in all its simplicity, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize it as an important documentation of our shared history.
