Good Night, c. 1880
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a tender moment in the lives of two young children as they bid farewell to the day and embrace the tranquility of night. Created by Joshua Smith, this albumen cabinet card from the late 19th century showcases his artistic prowess and attention to detail. In this photograph, we witness a timeless scene that transcends time and place. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the portrait, emphasizing the innocence of these cherubic faces. As their eyes begin to droop with fatigue, their tiny hands clutch cherished toys close to their hearts. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when bedtime routines were filled with laughter and gentle lullabies. It reminds us of our own childhoods, where dreams took flight amidst soft whispers and whispered secrets shared under moonlit skies. Joshua Smith's work not only captures a fleeting moment but also invites us into an intimate space where vulnerability meets comfort. Through his lens, he immortalizes this precious stage of life - infancy - reminding us all that even in moments of exhaustion or tears shed at bedtime rituals, there is beauty to be found. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, "Good Night" serves as a testament to both Smith's artistry and his ability to capture universal emotions within one frame. This albumen print stands as an enduring symbol of love, tenderness, and the eternal cycle between day and night that connects us all across time
