EDITORS COMMENTS
This Cabinet card photograph, featuring a graceful female figure, dates back to the early 20th century and bears the distinctive Art Nouveau design on its reverse side. The card was captured by the skilled hands of Albert Day, a renowned photographer based in Hackney, East London. The address on the back of the card reads "Albert Day, photographer, 165 Well Street, Hackney, East London. Day and Electric Light Studios." This suggests that Day's studio was equipped with the latest technology of the time, as electric light was a relatively new innovation in photography. The Art Nouveau design on the reverse side of the card is a testament to the artistic flair of the era. The intricate, flowing lines and organic shapes are characteristic of this decorative style, which was popular in Europe and America between 1890 and 1910. The design adds an elegant touch to the photograph, making it a desirable collectible item. Day's studio was likely a commercial enterprise, offering portrait photography services to the public. However, this card does not explicitly advertise commercial use, instead focusing on the artistic merit of the photograph and the allure of the design. The combination of the beautiful image and the eye-catching design would have made this a prized possession for those who owned it, serving as a reminder of the sitter's likeness and the artistic prowess of Albert Day.
