EDITORS COMMENTS
This stereograph, captured by Antoine Francois Jean Claudet around 1855, transports us back to a quaint studio parlor setting of the 19th century. In this charming scene, two children stand amidst elegant furniture, exuding an air of innocence and playfulness. The boy and girl in the photograph are beautifully hand-colored, their vibrant attire contrasting against the muted tones of the room. Their curious gazes suggest they have momentarily paused from their game to pose for this timeless portrait. As we delve deeper into the image, we notice a set of skittles on the floor beside them – a popular pastime during that era. The skittles add an element of movement and anticipation to the composition as if frozen mid-game. Claudet's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this photograph. From capturing delicate expressions on their faces to highlighting intricate patterns on furniture upholstery, he masterfully brings life to stillness. This piece serves as a window into both French heritage and early photography techniques. It showcases Claudet's skillful use of daguerreotype – an early photographic process invented by Louis Daguerre – which adds depth and texture to each element within the frame. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print invites us to reflect upon childhood joys across time and cultures while appreciating artistry that has stood strong for over a century-and-a-half.
