EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a timeless moment in American history. Titled "Priscilla John Alden" it was captured by Mathew B. Brady, an esteemed American photographer known for his iconic images during the mid-19th century. The photograph depicts Priscilla and John Alden, two figures whose identities remain shrouded in mystery. Their elegant attire suggests they belong to a privileged class, while their poised expressions hint at hidden stories waiting to be unveiled. Brady's mastery of composition is evident in this albumen silver print, created using a technique that involved coating paper with egg white before applying light-sensitive chemicals. The result is a stunning visual contrast between light and shadow, enhancing the depth and texture of the image. Dating back to 1859, this photograph provides us with a glimpse into New York City's rich historical tapestry. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable document of its time – capturing not only the physical appearance but also the spirit of these enigmatic individuals. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how photography can transcend time and transport us to different eras. It invites us to ponder who Priscilla and John Alden were, what their lives might have been like, and how their story intertwines with America's past.
