EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Walter Kevis Collection, held at the West Sussex Record Office, transports us back to a bygone era. Taken in September 1890, it features Mr C Ricketts alongside his beloved mother and baby. The image exudes an air of Victorian elegance and refinement. The composition is strikingly intimate as we see half of the mother's figure seated inside a chair, dressed in mourning attire with a black dress and hat. Her face remains slightly blurred, adding an element of mystery to her presence. The baby, wrapped snugly in a sheet, holds onto a toy tightly while sitting on its mother's lap. The simplicity of the plain background allows our focus to be drawn towards this tender moment between parent and child. It is evident that both are dressed in their Sunday best for this special occasion - perhaps capturing their visit to a studio or commemorating an important milestone. This photograph evokes nostalgia for an era when such portraits were treasured possessions meant to preserve memories for generations to come. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we cannot help but marvel at the love shared between mother and child over a century ago
