EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures Mattie Edwards Hewitt between the years 1911 and 1917. Mattie, dressed in a simple yet elegant blouse and hat, stands three-quarter length, facing front with her right arm resting on the chest of drawers. At the time, Mattie was an emerging figure in the American arts scene, having established the Johnston-Hewitt Studio in New York City in 1913 with her partner and fellow photographer, Frances Benjamin Johnston. Their partnership marked a significant moment in American photography, as they became one of the first female photography teams to gain recognition in the field. The duo lived and worked together for eight years, creating a body of work that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. This image, a gelatin silver print from the 1910s, is a testament to the artistic collaboration between these two pioneering women and the enduring legacy of their work." "The portrait was taken during a period of transformation for Mattie, as she navigated her personal and professional growth. The image shows her poised and confident, with a thoughtful expression that hints at the depth of her character. The setting, with its simple and understated background, allows the focus to remain on Mattie and her striking presence. The portrait is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, a fitting tribute to the important role Mattie and Frances played in American photography during the early 20th century." "This image is a reminder of the rich heritage of American art and the groundbreaking contributions of women in the field of photography. It invites us to reflect on the lives and experiences of Mattie Edwards Hewitt and Frances Benjamin Johnston, and the enduring impact of their collaborative work.
