EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Victorian studio carte de visite (CdV) photograph captures the elegance and sophistication of a fine middle class couple, circa 1870. The image, hand-tinted with delicate hues of blue, showcases the husband and wife, both in their middle age, dressed in the height of fashionable attire for the time. The husband, with a distinguished air, wears a velvet jacket and cane, while the wife, with an elegant grace, dons a large, blue skirt and matching shawl. The photograph was taken in the studio of a renowned bishop photographer, located on Kennington Park Road in London. The setting, with its ornate backdrop and meticulous attention to detail, enhances the couple's refined appearance. The use of hand-tinting adds an extra layer of artistry to the already stunning image, making it a true work of art. The couple's middle class status is evident in their well-tailored clothing and the fact that they were able to afford a photograph of this quality. This photograph serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of wealthy Victorians and the importance they placed on capturing memories through photography. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty and charm of the Victorian era, and a reminder of the power of a photograph to preserve moments in time.
