1890 Active 1880s Butler Gelatin Silver Little Boy Seated
EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print from the late 19th century showcases a little boy seated alongside his trusted butler. The photograph, taken around 1890, offers a glimpse into the lives of an American household during the active years of the 1880s. The composition is both intriguing and thought-provoking, as it captures a moment frozen in time. The young boy exudes innocence and curiosity while sitting comfortably on an ornate chair, dressed impeccably in fine clothing that reflects his privileged upbringing. Beside him stands the butler, whose presence adds an air of sophistication and elegance to the scene. The contrast between these two figures sparks intrigue - one representing youthfulness and potential, while the other symbolizes experience and servitude. It prompts us to ponder upon their relationship within this historical context. As we gaze at this remarkable image from Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a bygone era where social dynamics were vastly different than today's world. This photograph serves as a visual testament to societal norms and class distinctions prevalent during that period. While its origins remain unknown beyond its association with an American photographer active in the 1880s, this gelatin silver print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. Its artistic value lies not only in its technical execution but also in its ability to evoke emotions and spark our imagination about life long ago.
