EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Untitled (Portrait of Seated Woman), 1865/81" is a mesmerizing glimpse into the past. Created by Lyman W. Colby, an American photographer in the 19th century, this albumen print showcases his artistic talent and attention to detail. The portrait features a seated woman dressed in Victorian attire, her clothing adorned with delicate lace and pleats that speak to the fashion trends of the time. Her collar frames her face elegantly, drawing attention to her serene expression. The composition exudes grace and poise as she sits confidently for the camera. Colby's expertise in photography is evident through his use of light and shadow, creating depth within the image. The monochromatic palette adds a timeless quality to this piece, transporting viewers back to an era long gone. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's art centre, this photograph serves as a testament to both Colby's skill as an artist and America's rich cultural heritage. It offers us a window into the lives of women during this period while also showcasing photography as an emerging art form. "Untitled (Portrait of Seated Woman)" invites us to reflect on our own connection with history and appreciate how art can transcend time.
