EDITORS COMMENTS
[Adelaide Claxton], 1860s. A captivating portrait of Adelaide Claxton, captured by the talented photographers John & Charles Watkins in the 19th century. This black and white albumen print showcases Adelaide's striking profile, her hair styled elegantly with a hint of Victorian flair. Adelaide Sophia Claxton, also known as Adelaide Turner or Mrs. George G. Turner, was not only a subject but an artist herself, contributing to the rich heritage of art in Britain during this era. Her occupation remains a mystery, yet her profession is beautifully portrayed through this mesmerizing image. The delicate necklace adorning her neck adds a touch of sophistication to the composition while drawing attention to her religious devotion symbolized by the crucifix pendant she wears with pride. Christianity played an integral role in Adelaide's life and is subtly depicted here. This remarkable piece now resides within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcasing its historical significance and artistic value for generations to come. The impeccable craftsmanship displayed by John & Charles Watkins highlights their mastery in capturing both beauty and emotion through photography. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph, we are transported back to the 1860s when elegance reigned supreme and individuality shone brightly amidst societal norms.
