Taking the Census, 1854
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Francis William Edmonds that offers a humorous glimpse into the process of census-taking in mid-19th century America. The artwork, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, depicts a father diligently trying to recall his family's statistics while his mischievous children hide from sight. As an early representation of this bureaucratic task, Edmonds captures both the importance and challenges faced by households during the United States Census of 1850. Intriguingly, amidst this scene lies a small framed portrait of George Washington, symbolizing not only the genesis of American political system but also serving as a reminder never to tell a lie. This detail adds depth to the narrative portrayed within the painting. The composition showcases an interior cottage setting with its hearth and mantel as focal points. It highlights how families were required to provide information about their dependents for demographic recording and statistical analysis. Through Edmonds' skilled brushwork, we witness both parental responsibility and regulatory demands intersecting within domestic life. "Taking the Census, 1854" invites viewers into an intimate moment where official duties collide with familial dynamics. This group portrait serves as a testament to historical record-keeping practices while offering insights into societal norms and values prevalent during that era in North America.
