Elizabeth Bakewell James and her Son, Frank B. James, ca. 1846
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white daguerreotype from the 19th century showcases a tender moment between Elizabeth Bakewell James and her young son, Frank B. James. The photograph is attributed to the talented American photographer John Plumbe Jr. , known for his skill in capturing intimate family portraits. In this timeless image, Elizabeth exudes grace and maternal love as she cradles little Frank in her arms. Her Victorian hairstyle frames her face beautifully, while delicate ringlets cascade down her shoulders. Dressed in a simple yet elegant gown, she epitomizes the refined fashion of the era. Frank, with his innocent gaze fixed on his mother's face, represents the purity of childhood during this historical period. His presence adds an endearing charm to the composition as he clings onto his mother's embrace. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable piece that not only captures a specific moment but also serves as a testament to the enduring bond between mother and child throughout time. As we admire this heritage artwork by Heritage Images, we are transported back to mid-19th century America—a country steeped in history and tradition—where love and familial connections were cherished above all else.
