EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical lithograph titled "Photographing the first-born" artist John Leech transports us back to a Victorian photographic studio. The scene is filled with laughter and excitement as a young mother, holding her precious baby in her arms, eagerly poses for a portrait. The photographer, a bespectacled gentleman with an air of professionalism, adjusts his camera while capturing the momentous occasion. Toys and props are scattered around the room, adding charm to the composition. A playful cartoon character waves from one corner, eliciting giggles from both mother and child. This satirical touch reflects Leech's witty style often seen in Punch magazine illustrations. The image captures not only the technical aspects of early photography but also the emotional significance it held during that era. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can almost feel ourselves transported into that very studio - witnessing history being made through artistry and innovation. This enchanting litho serves as a reminder of how far photography has come since its inception in the 19th century. It reminds us of our own connections to family portraits and cherished memories captured on film or digitally today. Let this image inspire you to appreciate both the artistry behind each photograph and their ability to freeze moments in time for generations to come.
