EDITORS COMMENTS
A Charming Chaos: The Perils of Capturing a Family Portrait with Twins in 1883 This photograph captures the essence of the challenges faced during family portrait sessions in the 19th century, particularly when twins were involved. The image shows a mother, resplendent in her Victorian finery, seated for her portrait with her adorable twin babies. The photographer, poised with his camera, is intently focused on capturing the perfect moment. However, the tranquility of the scene is disrupted by the numerous family members and friends gathered behind the photographer, each attempting to maintain the babies' attention and keep them looking in the direction of the lens. The humorous illustration pokes fun at the difficulties often encountered during long and laborious portrait sittings. In an era before the invention of instant photographs, capturing a family portrait was a time-consuming and painstaking process. The positioning and arrangement of the sitters, the lighting, and the expression on their faces all had to be just right. The addition of twins, with their inherent curiosity and restlessness, only added to the complexity of the endeavor. Despite the chaos unfolding behind the scene, the mother remains calm and composed, a testament to the patience and perseverance required to survive a family portrait session in the 1880s. This delightful photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the joys and challenges of family life during a bygone era.
