EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Stereograph, Crystal Palace, John Bells Una and the Lion" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Britain. The image captures a moment from an event held at the iconic Crystal Palace in Sydenham Bromley, London. Steeped in history and artistry, this photograph showcases a sculpture inspired by Edmund Spenser's epic poem "The Faerie Queene". Intriguingly, the sculpture portrays Una, a female character from Spenser's literary masterpiece riding fearlessly on a lion. Her regal presence evokes notions of power and sovereignty while symbolizing courage amidst adversity. This artistic interpretation pays homage to both literature and visual arts. The Great Exhibition of 1851 serves as another significant backdrop for this photograph. This grand event showcased technological advancements alongside cultural achievements, making it an ideal platform for showcasing John Bell's remarkable work. London Stereoscopic & Photographic Co skillfully captured this historical moment with their daguerreotype technique. The monochromatic tones add depth to the composition while emphasizing details such as Una's nakedness - a nod to her vulnerability yet strength. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into British heritage through its fusion of poetry and sculpture. It invites contemplation on themes such as femininity, monarchy, and artistic expression that continue to resonate even in contemporary times.
