EDITORS COMMENTS
This Carte-de-Visite (CDV) photograph features Albert Richard Smith (1816-1860), an English writer, alpinist, and renowned lecturer, particularly known for his presentations at the Egyptian Hall in London. Smith's adventurous spirit and passion for the mountains are evident in this image, as he is depicted leaning against a large rock, holding a walking pole with a hat resting on it beside him. The historical setting of the photograph, estimated to have been taken around 1860, adds to the intrigue and authenticity of the scene. Smith's career as a writer and alpinist began in the mid-1800s, and he gained widespread recognition for his books on mountaineering and travel. His lectures at the Egyptian Hall, a popular venue for public speakers and entertainers in Victorian London, drew large crowds eager to hear about his thrilling experiences in the mountains. The Egyptian Hall, with its rich history and ornate decor, provided the perfect backdrop for Smith's captivating stories and vivid descriptions. In this photograph, Smith's rugged appearance and determined expression convey the sense of adventure and exploration that defined his life. The flat background and simple composition allow the subject to take center stage, making for a striking and timeless image. This CDV is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the life of a remarkable Englishman who lived and breathed the spirit of adventure and exploration during a fascinating period in history.
