EDITORS COMMENTS
This photographic print, titled 'Windbag' by Charles H. Bennett, showcases a fascinating representation of Boanerges Mowther, Esquire, as a shadow portrait. The image, part of Bennett's intriguing series entitled 'Shadow and Substance' created in 1860, offers a unique take on traditional portraiture. In this particular illustration, Mowther's rotund body and slim legs cast an intricate shadow, forming the shape of a pair of bellows. The contrast between the voluminous shadow and the slender limbs of the fictional character adds an element of whimsy and intrigue to the piece. Bennett's innovative approach to portraiture, which emphasizes the interplay between light and shadow, highlights the essence of his subjects while also adding a layer of visual complexity. The historical context of this series, created during the Victorian era, adds an additional layer of intrigue, as shadow portraits were not a common art form during this time. Boanerges Mowther, the Windbag, is a fictional character, and the title of this piece adds an element of humor and playfulness to the image. The Windbag moniker may refer to Mowther's rotund figure, which resembles a pair of bellows that could potentially generate a strong gust of wind. Overall, this shadow portrait of Boanerges Mowther, as captured by Charles H. Bennett, is a captivating and intriguing work of art that showcases the artist's mastery of light and shadow, as well as his ability to bring fictional characters to life in a unique and visually striking way.
