EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this mesmerizing black and white albumen print captured in 1856, British artist Robert Wilfred Skeffington Lutwidge transports us to a bygone era. Titled "Still Life and Embroidery" this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the leisurely pursuits of nineteenth-century Britain.
