EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the work of Chesterton William Ball, a British photographer active during the 1860s and 1870s. Taken in London, England in 1868, this albumen silver print captures a moment frozen in time. The exquisite details and composition of this photograph are truly remarkable. The image depicts an unidentified subject against a backdrop that hints at urban life in Victorian London. The subject's expression is enigmatic, leaving us to wonder about their story and the emotions they may be experiencing. Perhaps they were a prominent figure of their time or simply an ordinary citizen caught up in the bustling cityscape. Chesterton William Ball's mastery of his craft is evident through his use of light and shadow, which adds depth and dimension to the composition. The albumen silver printing process used for this print further enhances its visual appeal by lending it a delicate tonal range. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to a bygone era where photography was still relatively new but rapidly gaining popularity as an art form. This particular piece serves as both documentation of life during that period and as an artistic creation that continues to captivate viewers today.
