EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Mrs. Hugh Playfair and Sir Hugh Lyon Playfair, a prominent British couple active in the 1850s. The copy print was expertly created by renowned Scottish photographer Sir David Brewster between 1845 and 1850. The image is rendered on a salted paper print, derived from a Calotype negative, which adds an ethereal quality to the photograph. Measuring at approximately 14 × 9.2 cm (5 1/2 × 3 5/8 in. ), this intimate portrait captures the essence of the era. Mrs. Hugh Playfair exudes elegance with her refined posture and fashionable attire, while Sir Hugh Lyon Playfair emanates confidence through his distinguished appearance. Their expressions hint at their shared bond and perhaps even their societal status. Sir David Brewster's masterful technique brings out every intricate detail of this enchanting composition, highlighting both subjects' unique features and personalities. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, they are transported back to a time when photography was still in its infancy but already capable of capturing moments that would transcend generations.
