1850 Daguerreotype Hand Colored Maker Nurse
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the mid-19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of an unknown nurse and child. The image, captured around 1850 by an American artist using the daguerreotype technique, showcases their intimate bond in exquisite detail. The nurse's compassionate gaze reflects her dedication to caring for others, while cradling the child tenderly in her arms. Her attire speaks volumes about her profession and societal role during that era. The hand-colored details add a touch of vibrancy to this black-and-white medium, bringing life to their features and emphasizing their connection. Despite being taken over a century ago, this portrait remains timeless in its portrayal of love and nurturing. It serves as a reminder of the universal importance of caregivers throughout history - those who have selflessly devoted themselves to ensuring the well-being of others. Displayed on a 1/6 plate with dimensions measuring 6.2 x 4.8 cm (2 7/16 x 1 7/8 in. ), this small yet powerful image is framed within an elegant mat measuring 8.3 x 7.1 cm (3 1/4 x 2 13/16 in. ). Its modest size only adds to its charm and intimacy. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, let us reflect on how nurses have played an indispensable role throughout time – providing comfort, care, and compassion when it is needed most.
