Affection Eddy Family Life Parent Platinum Print Platinum Prints 1900 Gmgpc Infancy Infant

EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful black and white platinum print, titled "Mother and Child" by Sarah J. Eddy, captures the tender moment of love and affection between a mother and her young infant in the early 1900s in the United States. The image, taken during the 20th century, showcases the mother cradling her child in a soft, natural light setting, likely in the comfort of their country home. The concept of motherhood and family life is beautifully conveyed through the gentle expression on the mother's face and the peaceful gaze of her child. Sarah J. Eddy, known as Sarah J., Sarah J. James, Sarah J. Jane, or Sarah J. Edy, was a renowned American photographer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her work, including this platinum print, is now part of the prestigious collections at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., showcasing her significant contribution to the heritage of photography in the United States. The use of platinum prints, a popular photographic process during this era, adds to the timeless quality of the image. The process, which involves the use of platinum and palladium salts, creates a rich, tonal range and a unique, velvety texture. This Mother and Child photograph is a testament to Eddy's mastery of the platinum print technique and her ability to capture the essence of family life during a bygone era.
