What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.
How photography has changed the social record - from their time little pictorial record remains that wasn't commissioned by wealthy patrons. Most families of their time (and indeed until about 100 years ago) would have had one or more that died before age 5 years and nothing records their image - or the pain of their passing. Sorting Mr B’s mum's photos revealed several sisters of her mother who died in childhood in the 1890s - at least grainy images of them tell some tale of their part in a family.
Beautifully sketched!

ReplyDeleteO pescoço de uma das crianças adornado com um colar de pérolas, pareceu-me algo descabido e pesado.

The painting is sweet but the story of the girls is tragic!
