EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1866 by Andre-Adolphe-Eugene Disderi, we are introduced to Amelie and Elise Gitteri. The two women stand side by side, their full-length dresses elegantly draped over the crinoline hoops that were popular during the Victorian era. Their clothing reflects the fashion trends of the time, with intricate lace details adorning their gowns. Amidst a backdrop that hints at a rural country setting, Amelie and Elise strike a pose for the camera. Their hairstyles feature delicate ringlets cascading down their shoulders, adding an air of femininity to their portraits. The photographer's skillful composition captures not only their physical beauty but also conveys a sense of poise and grace. This albumen silver print is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serving as a testament to Disderi's contribution to photography during the 19th century. Through his lens, he immortalizes these French women who embody both timeless elegance and historical significance. As we gaze upon this image today, it offers us a glimpse into an era long gone yet preserved through art. It reminds us of how fashion has evolved over time while simultaneously highlighting our fascination with capturing moments in history through portraiture.
