EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "May Banks, 1860s" takes us back to the elegant era of the 19th century. The photograph, captured by an unknown photographer from that time period, is now housed in the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London. May Banks herself remains a mystery, her identity lost to history. However, through this intimate portrayal, we catch a glimpse into her world. Dressed in fashionable attire of the time, May exudes grace and poise. Her delicate features are accentuated by the monochromatic tones of the photograph. The image is part of a collection known as carte de visite or visiting cards - a popular trend during the 19th century. These cards featured eminent musicians and other historical figures who were admired for their contributions to society. Ian Brearey's expert photography skills have beautifully preserved this piece of history for generations to come. The attention to detail and composition transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate not only May Banks but also the artistry behind classical music during that era. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing portrait, we are reminded of how fashion has evolved over centuries while still retaining its timeless allure. May Banks' enigmatic presence continues to captivate viewers even after all these years.
