EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait by Edward Linley Sambourne showcases the artist's eccentric and playful nature. Taken in cyanotype, a photographic printing process popular during the Victorian era, this image captures Sambourne mid-leap, defying gravity with his forward-reaching stance. Standing on one leg, he appears to be in flight, frozen in time for eternity. Sambourne's unique pose reflects his innovative approach to photography and his desire to push boundaries within the medium. His full-length figure is perfectly framed against a simple backdrop, drawing attention solely to his dynamic form. The composition exudes energy and movement as if Sambourne himself is about to leap out of the frame. As a renowned photographer of his time, Sambourne used self-portraits like this one not only as personal expressions but also as experiments in technique and style. This particular print was discovered at Linley Sambourne House in London, UK – a place that once served as both home and studio for the artist. With its striking combination of Victorian elegance and avant-garde flair, this photograph exemplifies Sambourne's artistic vision. It serves as a testament to his skillful manipulation of light and shadow while capturing fleeting moments frozen forever through the lens of his camera. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance and admire Sambourne's daring creativity.
