EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the year 1865, a time when photography was still in its infancy. The image features Ada Munck and Jeremiah Gurney & Son, frozen in time through the artistry of albumen silver printing. Ada Munck's elegant posture and refined attire reflect the fashion trends of that era, while her poised expression hints at an air of mystery surrounding her. Standing beside her is Jeremiah Gurney & Son, whose presence adds a sense of gravitas to this composition. The albumen silver print technique used here showcases remarkable attention to detail, capturing every intricate nuance with stunning clarity. This method involved coating paper with egg white (albumen) mixed with salt and sensitizing it with silver nitrate before exposing it to light. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into a world long gone but forever preserved within these delicate fibers. It serves as a testament to both the technical prowess of early photographers like Gurney & Son and their ability to capture fleeting moments for posterity. While little is known about Ada Munck or her connection to Jeremiah Gurney & Son beyond this single frame frozen in time, their legacy lives on through this exquisite albumen silver print. It reminds us that even though names may fade into obscurity over time, images have an enduring power that transcends generations - allowing us glimpses into lives lived centuries ago.
