Badminton Brownie Camera Reclining Wiltshire
EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait, titled 'Self Portrait with Parasol (1 / 2)', was taken by the talented and resourceful Vera Punter in the picturesque grounds of Badminton Park, Wiltshire, England, in the year 1930. The image showcases Vera in a reclined position, radiating an air of tranquility and self-assurance as she holds a parasol above her head, shielding herself from the sun. The photograph was captured using an O Box Brownie camera, a popular and affordable model during that era. The unique feature of this camera is the attached piece of string, which Vera used to pull the shutter, ensuring a self-sufficient and independent photographic experience. Badminton Park, a historic estate in Wiltshire, England, provided a beautiful backdrop for this artistic endeavor. The lush greenery, dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, and the sense of serenity in the scene all contribute to the timeless quality of this image. Vera's self-portrait is a testament to her creativity, technical skill, and the ability to capture a moment in time using simple yet effective tools. This photograph is a valuable piece of historical documentation, offering a glimpse into the past and the art of photography during the early 20th century.
