EDITORS COMMENTS
This stereograph from the 1850s transports us back to a bygone era of elegance and refinement. The photograph showcases a woman adorned in a tiara, wearing an exquisite tulle and lace dress, as she sits gracefully before a mirror. Her beauty is enhanced by the delicate hand coloring that brings this image to life. The French influence is evident in every detail of this portrait. The intricate lace on her dress speaks volumes about the craftsmanship of the time, while her jewelry - including a necklace that catches the light just right - adds an air of opulence and sophistication. As we gaze at this mesmerizing scene, we are reminded of how photography has evolved over centuries. This daguerreotype captures not only the physical appearance but also reflects upon societal norms and expectations placed upon women during that period. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this piece allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and offers insight into fashion trends, cultural practices, and even personal identities from long ago. Bautain's skillful composition invites us to step into the world captured within this stereograph – one where beauty was celebrated through meticulous attention to detail.
