Mrs. Anne Rigby and Lady Elizabeth Eastlake - A Captivating Glimpse into 19th Century British Society
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, printed around 1916, showcases the elegant Mrs. Anne Rigby and the distinguished Lady Elizabeth Eastlake. Taken in 1843 or 1847 by renowned Scottish photographers David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, this carbon print transports us back to a time of Victorian splendor. Both women are dressed impeccably in fashionable attire of the era, with Mrs. Rigby wearing a stylish bonnet adorned with delicate ribbons while Lady Eastlake dons an exquisite hat that adds an air of sophistication to her ensemble. Their clothing reflects the refined tastes prevalent among British society during this period. Lady Elizabeth Eastlake was not only known for her beauty but also for her significant contributions as a writer, art critic, and historian. Her expertise in these fields earned her great respect within intellectual circles of the time. Mrs. Anne Rigby's occupation remains somewhat elusive; however, she exudes confidence and poise in this portrait, suggesting a woman of substance who likely played an important role within her community. The collaboration between Hill and Adamson resulted in some of the most remarkable photographic works from this era. Their ability to capture both physical likeness and inner essence is evident here as they skillfully portray these two extraordinary women. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image today at The Art Institute Chicago's gallery, we are reminded of
