I love love LOVE Victorian and Edwardian photos. The black-and-white is crystalline in detail. People really knew how to dress then. They got around by horse. It was wonderful.
I recently found two gorgeous, authentic photos from the era that looked so much like paintings, I had to mix them up with some actual paintings by Victorian artists Tissot and Hassam. I hope their ghosts will forgive me for making their pictures black and white, just for the sake of confusion.
Can YOU tell the difference?
You're right. I can't tell them apart. They're all magnificent.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what's more magnificent, the photography or the painting. Photography was still relatively new, yet they were achieving a crystalline effect with it that is timeless and very hard to replicate.
