Last in Bed Puts Out the Candle, Late 19th Century - A Glimpse into Victorian Bedtime Routine
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white stereoscopic card takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a fascinating glimpse into the nightly routine of our ancestors. The scene unfolds within a cozy bedroom, illuminated solely by the warm glow of a flickering candle. In this intimate space, we find ourselves observing an intriguing tradition. The focus rests on two individuals preparing for bed - their clothing and demeanor indicative of the era's fashion. The figure closest to us wears an elegant nightgown while donning a charming nightcap atop her head. She stands beside her partner who is still clad in his boots and dress attire, seemingly ready to retire for the evening. As suggested by its title, "Last in Bed Puts Out the Candle" this print captures that final moment before slumber envelops them both. It symbolizes not only their shared responsibility but also highlights societal norms surrounding bedtime rituals during that time period. Stereoscopic photography adds depth and dimensionality to this image, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in this historical tableau. Through this lens, we can almost feel the softness of their garments against our skin and imagine what it was like to exist within these walls over a century ago. Preserved through time by unknown hands, this photograph serves as a reminder of how even mundane moments can hold great significance when viewed through historical context.
