EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant and intricately detailed portrait captures the enchanting presence of Mary Russell Mitford (1787-1855), a prolific English novelist and dramatist of the 19th century. Mitford, who signed her works as "M.R. Mitford" or simply "M.R.," was known for her elaborate and engaging stories that often explored the lives and experiences of women in rural England. The portrait, taken in 1855 by the renowned photographer Burt, showcases Mitford's refined and sophisticated appearance. She is depicted wearing a high-necked, long-sleeved blouse with delicate lace detailing, topped with a fashionable bonnet adorned with ribbons and a bow. The intricate design of the bonnet and the delicate lacework on her blouse reflect the ornate and elaborate fashions of the time. Mitford's signature, "M.R. Mitford," is elegantly written in the bottom right corner of the image, adding an authentic touch to the portrait. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in its portrayal of a prominent literary figure but also in its capture of the fashion trends and social norms of the mid-19th century. Mitford's literary contributions were vast and varied, including novels, short stories, and plays. Her works were widely popular during her lifetime and continue to be appreciated today for their insightful commentary on society and their richly drawn characters. This portrait serves as a fitting tribute to the enduring legacy of this remarkable English writer.
