EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Dr Charles Burneys Family" takes us back to the 18th century in Britain. The image showcases Dr Charles Burney, a renowned music historian of his time, seated alongside his family. Cut with scissors and delicately mounted on silk, this silhouette portrait captures the essence of an era. Charles Burney's significant contributions to music history are well-documented, but this photograph offers a glimpse into his personal life as a father. Standing proudly beside him is Frances Burney, who would later become a celebrated author in her own right. The presence of their daughter reflects the importance placed on education and intellectual pursuits within their household. The composition also includes other members of the family - mother, son, and even Patience Wright - an accomplished artist known for her wax sculptures. Each figure is captured in profile against a mirror backdrop while holding quill pens or engaging in conversation. This artwork from One Hundred Silhouette Portraits provides us with not only an insight into familial relationships during that period but also highlights the role of women as intellectuals and artists. It serves as a reminder that behind every great man stands strong women who contribute significantly to society. Preserved by Horace Hart at the University of Oxford Press since 1912, this print allows us to appreciate both its historical value and artistic beauty today.
