EDITORS COMMENTS
This carte-de-visite (CDV) photograph, dated circa 1862, presents the revered English clergyman and poet, John Keble (1792-1866), in a rare moment of personal intimacy with his beloved wife. The image offers a glimpse into the private life of this influential figure, who is best known for his role as a leader of the Oxford Movement in the Church of England. John Keble, a native of Fairford, Gloucestershire, gained prominence as a poet and theologian, with his most famous work being the collection of poetic essays titled "The Christian Year," published in 1827. His poetry, deeply rooted in the Anglican faith, resonated with the public and played a significant role in shaping the literary and religious landscape of the time. In this photograph, Keble is seen in formal attire, wearing a collared shirt and a dark coat, while his wife is elegantly dressed in a crinoline gown, her hair styled in an intricate Victorian updo. The couple exudes a sense of warmth and tenderness, their eyes locked in a loving gaze. The photograph, taken around the same time as Keble's retirement from his position as the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, serves as a poignant reminder of the personal side of this esteemed figure. The CDV format, which gained popularity in the mid-19th century, allowed for the mass production and dissemination of photographs, making it possible for people to own and share images of their loved ones and admired public figures. This photograph of John Keble and his wife is a testament to the enduring appeal of such images, as they continue to offer a glimpse into the lives of historical figures and the social context of their times.
