1885 Candle Poems Stevenson Verses
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intimacy and vulnerability as a young girl undresses in her bed. The image is reminiscent of the famous poem "Bed in Summer" by Robert Louis Stevenson, which speaks to the differences in daily routines between winter and summer. In this scene, we see the girl preparing for bed during the daytime, illuminated by a soft yellow candlelight.
The historical significance of this photograph is evident in every detail - from the antique bed frame to the vintage books scattered on the nightstand. It transports us back to 1905, a time when bedtime rituals were much different than they are today.
The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. The warm glow of the candlelight against the cool tones of winter outside creates a striking contrast that draws us into the scene.
As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times gone by. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and how everyday moments like getting ready for bed can be filled with beauty and poetry.
This stunning print from Mary Evans Picture Library is not just a photograph - it's a piece of art that tells a story worth remembering.
