EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Family Group Portrait Posed in Doorway" transports us back to the late 1840s. Created by Calvert Jones, a renowned British photographer of the 19th century, this image captures a moment frozen in time. In this idyllic scene, we see a family standing together at the entrance of their home. The father exudes an air of authority and sophistication, dressed impeccably in his high-class attire. The mother stands beside him with grace and elegance, embodying Victorian femininity. Their children surround them - two boys wearing dapper clothing and two girls donning charming dresses. The composition is carefully arranged within the doorway frame, emphasizing not only their physical presence but also their social status. This portrait reflects the societal structure of that era as it showcases different social classes coexisting within one family unit. Calvert Jones's mastery shines through in every detail captured on this salted paper print from a paper negative. The clarity and contrast achieved through his technique add depth to each individual's expression and attire. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are transported back to an era where family values were cherished above all else. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared heritage and the timeless beauty found within these precious moments frozen in history.
