Photographing the First-Born - A Satirical Glimpse into Victorian Family Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, titled "Photographing the First-Born" takes us back to the late 19th century in England. Created by George Louis Palmella Busson Du Maurier, a renowned cartoonist of his time, this satirical cartoon offers a humorous commentary on the emerging trend of photography among families. Set in an intimate studio interior, we witness a group of men and women gathered around as a father attempts to capture an image of his first-born baby boy. The scene is filled with anticipation and excitement as everyone eagerly awaits the perfect shot. The photographer himself stands ready behind his camera while the mother sits patiently holding her precious child. Du Maurier's keen eye for detail shines through in this artwork, capturing not only the physical appearance but also reflecting societal norms and fads prevalent during that era. This piece serves as both entertainment and social critique, highlighting how photography had become an essential part of daily life for many Victorians. As we delve into this fascinating snapshot from history, it becomes evident that Du Maurier masterfully combines humor with insight into family dynamics and cultural trends. This print from The Granger Collection allows us to appreciate not only Du Maurier's artistic talent but also provides a window into Victorian society's fascination with preserving memories through portraiture.
