EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white cyanotype print, titled "Two Models embracing, 1904" captures a profound moment of intimacy frozen in time. The photograph, taken by Edward Linley Sambourne, showcases two female models locked in a tender embrace. The image exudes an air of melancholy and sadness as the women lean into each other's shoulders. Their nakedness is unapologetically displayed, challenging societal norms of the Victorian era when this photograph was created. Sambourne skillfully employs the Victorian photographic technique to create a visually stunning composition that evokes deep emotions. The contrast between light and dark adds depth to the image while emphasizing the vulnerability and rawness of their connection. Beyond its artistic merits, this photograph also explores themes of sapphic love and lesbianism during a time when such expressions were heavily stigmatized. It serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and courage exhibited by these women who dared to embrace their true selves. Displayed at the Linley Sambourne House in London, UK, this print invites viewers to reflect on notions of identity, beauty, and human connection throughout history. It stands as a reminder that love knows no boundaries or restrictions – it transcends time itself.
