Mama Ribbon Sits Stool Toilet Gertrud
EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful and poignant image captures a tender moment between a mother and her young daughter, Gertrud, as she prepares her for a special occasion. The photograph, titled "Daughters Hair by Mama," was taken circa 1870 and is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and bond between a mother and child during this era. The scene unfolds in a simple yet cozy setting, with Gertrud seated on a stool in front of a wooden table. Her mother, with a loving expression on her face, carefully brushes her daughter's long, dark hair. The mother's attire, consisting of a high-necked blouse and an apron, is typical of the Victorian era, adding to the historical context of the photograph. The mother's hands, steady and skilled, deftly weave the hair into place, preparing it for the addition of a blue ribbon. The ribbon, a symbol of femininity and adornment, is held up against Gertrud's hair, waiting to be secured. The blue color adds a pop of vibrant color to the otherwise muted tones of the image. The presence of a toilet in the background suggests that this scene may have taken place in the family home, further emphasizing the intimate and personal nature of the moment. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between a mother and her child, and the simple pleasures and joys that come with the everyday rituals of family life.
