EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Arthur Munby and his younger brother, taken around 1858. The English photographer beautifully portrays the two siblings in a timeless moment frozen in history. Arthur Munby, also known as A. J Munby, was an intriguing figure of the 19th century. He was not only a British diarist and poet but also a man with an insatiable fascination for working women. Specifically, he found himself drawn to those who engaged in physically demanding and dirty labor such as miners and milkmaids. His diary stands today as a unique testament to the lives of Victorian women who toiled tirelessly. In this portrait, we see Arthur Munby dressed in his graduation attire - mortarboard cap and gown - symbolizing his academic achievements. As a writer, researcher, and civil servant, he undoubtedly possessed great intellect and ambition. Standing beside him is his younger brother, their familial bond evident through their shared features. The image captures Arthur's serious expression while showcasing typical fashion choices of the era: top hat adorned on one side with sideburns cascading down to meet his moustache and beard. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the life of Arthur Munby – both as an accomplished individual within society's expectations and as someone deeply interested in documenting the stories of hardworking women during that time period.
