1875 Active Philadelphia Chair Back Hand Holding Man Standing Pennsylvania 1860s
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this albumen silver print from the 1860s, we witness a moment frozen in time. A distinguished man stands tall, his presence commanding attention. With one hand gracefully holding his hat, he exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The other hand firmly grasps the back of a chair, as if to steady himself or perhaps symbolize his unwavering strength. This enigmatic figure is none other than Lew Horning, an active Philadelphian during that era. His identity may be shrouded in mystery, but there is no denying the aura of confidence emanating from him. The composition is strikingly balanced; every element seems carefully placed to create visual harmony. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its timeless appeal. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, it transports us back to a bygone era when life moved at a different pace. It invites us to ponder about the stories behind those who lived during that tumultuous period in American history. This remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection captures not only an individual's physical appearance but also hints at their character and inner world. It serves as a reminder that even in stillness, photographs can speak volumes about our shared human experience across time and space.
