1851 Annie Children Daguerreotype Frame Lizzie Marcus Mcallister Mitchell Root Sitting Aurelius
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white daguerreotype from 1851 showcases the McAllister children in all their innocence and charm. Lizzie, John, Annie, and Mitchell are beautifully captured by renowned photographer Marcus Aurelius Root, who expertly immortalized this moment in time. The four siblings sit together on a vintage wooden frame, their clothing reflecting the fashion of mid-19th century America. The girls don delicate dresses with intricate lace details while the boys sport tailored suits with high collars and polished shoes. Each child exudes a unique personality - Lizzie's gentle smile radiates warmth, John's serious gaze hints at his maturity beyond his years, Annie's mischievous eyes sparkle with curiosity, and Mitchell's innocent expression captures the essence of childhood. This portrait is not just a photograph; it is a window into an era long gone but forever preserved through artistry. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of family bonds and reminds us of our shared human experience across generations. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece from their collection as an homage to both photography as an art form and to these four extraordinary children who have become timeless figures in history.
