EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a sleeping woman in a delicate white dress. Taken between 1851 and 1855, this stereoscopic daguerreotype by Alexis Louis Charles Arthur Gouin is an exquisite example of mid-19th century photography. The image portrays a sense of tranquility as the woman peacefully dozes off, her eyes closed and her body relaxed. The simplicity of her attire, with its flowing fabric and timeless elegance, adds to the ethereal quality of the scene. The composition focuses solely on the slumbering figure, emphasizing her vulnerability and solitude. There is an air of mystery surrounding this anonymous woman; we are left to wonder about her dreams and thoughts as she rests undisturbed. The use of daguerreotype technique enhances the visual appeal of this piece. The sharpness and clarity achieved through this early photographic process bring out intricate details such as the texture of the dress fabric or subtle shadows cast upon it. As we gaze at this mesmerizing print from our private collection, we are transported back in time to witness a serene moment captured forever. It serves as a reminder that even amidst the chaos of everyday life, there is beauty in stillness and repose.
