EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Servants at Rhagatt, Corwen, North Wales, c. 1860" takes us back in time to the late 19th century. The image showcases a group of servants gathered outside the grand estate of Rhagatt in Corwen, North Wales. The creator of this remarkable piece is John Lloyd, a British photographer who skillfully captured the essence of everyday life during that era. The photograph was taken using the wet collodion negative process which adds depth and texture to the image. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a moment of respite for these hardworking individuals who dedicated their lives to serving others. Their expressions reveal both pride and weariness as they stand together against the backdrop of their workplace. The composition beautifully highlights each servant's unique role within the household hierarchy - from maids with aprons and bonnets to footmen dressed impeccably in livery uniforms. This visual documentation not only offers insight into domestic service during Victorian times but also serves as an invaluable historical record. Preserved by Heritage Art/Heritage Images and now housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this photograph allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its cultural significance. It serves as a reminder that behind every stately home lies an intricate network of dedicated individuals whose stories deserve recognition and remembrance.
