EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Berthe, 1862" transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century France. Created by the talented photographer André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri, this albumen silver print showcases a full-length portrait of a woman named Berthe. Dressed in an exquisite crinoline dress with a hooped skirt and petticoat, Berthe epitomizes the fashion trends of her time. Her elegant clothing reflects the refined taste and attention to detail that were highly valued during this era. The intricate layers of her attire are beautifully captured in this monochromatic composition. The setting for this photograph remains unknown, but it exudes an air of countryside charm. Perhaps Berthe is posing against a picturesque backdrop that highlights both her beauty and the natural landscape surrounding her. Disdéri's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing Berthe's graceful posture and delicate features. Through his lens, he captures not only her physical appearance but also hints at her personality and inner world. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this heritage artwork serves as a testament to Disdéri's mastery in capturing fleeting moments through photography. It invites us to appreciate both the artistry behind early photographic techniques and the timeless allure embodied by women like Berthe in 19th-century France.
