EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Organ Grinder" by Oscar Gustave Rejlander showcases the talent and artistry of a British-born Swedish photographer. Taken between 1862 and 1868, this albumen silver print captures a moment frozen in time. The image depicts an organ grinder, a common sight on the streets of Great Britain during that era. The subject is dressed in traditional attire, complete with a worn-out hat and tattered clothing. With his instrument strapped to his back, he stands proudly as he turns the crank handle, producing melodic tunes that fill the air. Rejlander's keen eye for detail is evident in this photograph. Every wrinkle on the organ grinder's face tells a story of hardship and resilience. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both the man's weathered features and his dedication to his craft. Through this image, Rejlander not only documents an ordinary street performer but also invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as perseverance, artistic expression, and societal dynamics during Victorian England. This albumen silver print serves as a testament to Rejlander's ability to capture human emotion within still images. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection today, we are transported back in time - reminded of forgotten stories etched into history by talented artists like Oscar Gustave Rejlander.
