Autre chaise rustique, 1860s - A Glimpse into Victorian Childhood
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white albumen print, titled "Autre chaise rustique" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century France. Created by the talented Pierre-Louis Pierson, this photograph captures a moment frozen in time. In this image, we see an androgynous child seated on a rustic chair amidst a country backdrop. The child's long hair cascades down their shoulders, adding to their ethereal charm. Dressed in traditional clothing of the era, they exude innocence and curiosity. Pierson skillfully poses his subject with a side view profile that invites contemplation about the concept of childhood during that period. The unbreeched attire signifies their tender age while also highlighting societal norms at the time. As we delve deeper into this portrait, it becomes evident that Pierson was not merely capturing an individual but rather preserving an entire era's heritage. Through his lens, he transports us to a bygone time when children were seen as symbols of purity and hope for the future. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this remarkable piece offers viewers an intimate glimpse into Victorian life through photography—an art form still in its infancy during those years. "Autre chaise rustique" serves as a testament to Pierre-Louis Pierson's artistic prowess and his ability to capture fleeting moments with timeless grace.
