EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print from the 1860s showcases the renowned architect Edward Middleton Barry. Captured by the skilled photographers John & Charles Watkins, this portrait exudes a sense of professionalism and sophistication. Edward Middleton Barry, known for his remarkable contributions to British architecture, is depicted here with his distinct facial hair - mutton chop sideburns that were popular during the nineteenth century. His confident gaze and well-groomed appearance reflect his status as a prominent figure in Britain's architectural scene. The fine details captured in this photograph highlight not only Barry's physical features but also provide insight into his occupation and profession. The image serves as a testament to the artistry of John & Charles Watkins, who skillfully utilized albumen silver printing techniques to create this stunning piece. Now part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, this historic carte de visite offers viewers a glimpse into an era when photography was still emerging as an influential medium. It invites us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind capturing such portraits and Edward Middleton Barry's significant contribution to British heritage through architecture. As we admire this striking image today, we are reminded of how photography has preserved moments in time while allowing us to connect with individuals who have left their mark on history.
