EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph is a reproduction of two illustrations published in the "Fruit Recorder and Cottage Gardener" periodical in 1875, showcasing the contrasting portraits of fortunate and unhappy husbands, as depicted by Frances Benjamin Johnston between 1915 and 1925. The first illustration, titled "Portrait of the Fortunate Woman's Husband," portrays a contented man in a full-length portrait, dressed in 19th-century apparel, including a carriage boot and boots, who makes his wife and children happy and keeps their home pleasant. The second illustration, titled "Portrait of the Unhappy Woman's Husband," depicts an arrogant, inconsiderate man, who is shown destroying a flower bed with a garden fork, and is dressed in early 20th-century clothing. These illustrations serve as a metaphor for the concept of domestic bliss and the importance of a considerate and contented husband in creating a happy home. The images, reminiscent of lantern slides from the 1910s to 1930s, offer a glimpse into the past and provide a humorous yet poignant commentary on the role of husbands in the home and their impact on their wives and families.
