EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait captured by G. H. Martyn in 1855, we are transported back to a time of elegance and refinement. The photograph showcases a woman standing gracefully, her back turned towards us, as she admires herself in a mirror. Dressed in a short fitted jacket with a basque worn over a crinoline, the woman exudes confidence and style. Her attire reflects the fashion trends of the era, emphasizing the hourglass silhouette that was highly sought after during this period. The mirror serves as both an object of vanity and self-reflection for the subject. As she gazes at her own reflection, one can only wonder what thoughts or emotions might be running through her mind. Is she pleased with what she sees? Does she find solace or perhaps even discontentment within her own image? This photograph not only captures the beauty of its subject but also offers us a glimpse into Victorian England's societal norms and ideals surrounding femininity and self-presentation. It is an exquisite portrayal of an era long gone yet forever preserved through art. G. H Martyn's masterful composition invites us to contemplate our own relationship with self-image and how it has evolved throughout history. This print from Fine Art Storehouse allows us to appreciate both the technical skill behind capturing such moments as well as their timeless significance in understanding our collective past.
