Portrait of William Young and Child, 1879 - A Glimpse into 19th Century American Fatherhood
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black and white cabinet card print, captured by renowned photographer Samuel Montague Fassett in 1879, we are transported back to a bygone era. The portrait showcases William Young, a distinguished gentleman with spectacles perched on his nose, holding his precious child tenderly in his arms. Dressed in formal attire that reflects the fashion of the time, both father and child exude an air of elegance. Their clothing speaks volumes about their social standing and highlights the importance placed on appearances during this period. The photograph not only captures a beautiful moment between father and child but also provides us with valuable insights into the educational institutions prevalent at that time. With its mention of scientific institutions like the Smithsonian Institution Archive, it hints at Young's connection to academia or perhaps his passion for knowledge. As we delve deeper into this image's historical context, we can't help but wonder about the lives these individuals led within their country setting. This portrait serves as a testament to family values cherished in America during the late 19th century – love, education, and heritage. Samuel Montague Fassett's skillful composition immortalizes this intimate bond between two people from different generations. It reminds us that even amidst societal changes over centuries past; some things remain constant – paternal affection knows no bounds.
