EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Manger," dates back to the early 1900s and was created by the renowned American photographer Gertrude Kasebier. The image depicts a poignant scene of the Virgin Mary, dressed in traditional robes, as she tenderly cradles and breastfeeds the infant Jesus in a humble manger setting. The photograph, a platinum print from the Photo-Secession movement, exudes a sense of tranquility and devotion. The image is reminiscent of the Madonna and Child motif, a common theme in Christian art throughout history. The serene expression on Mary's face, combined with the gentle gaze of the infant Jesus, evokes a deep sense of motherly love and protection. The image also serves as a reminder of the humble beginnings of the Christian faith, with the simple setting of the manger and stable. The photograph, which is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and convey the human experience. Gertrude Kasebier's "The Manger" is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a poignant reminder of the importance of family, love, and the enduring bond between mother and child.
