1850 Ange Angel Beautiful Begs Give Kiss Mothers
EDITORS COMMENTS
Mother Begs Kiss," also known as "Mon bel ange, baises-moi" (My beautiful angel, give me a kiss...), is an evocative and poignant image capturing the tender moment between a mother and her young children from the mid-19th century. The photograph, believed to have been taken around 1850, offers a rare glimpse into the intimate world of family life during this era. The mother in the image, dressed in a modest, high-necked blouse and full skirt, cradles her youngest child in her arms while reaching out to her older son, who stands shyly before her. Her expression is one of deep affection and longing, her eyes pleading with her son to grant her the simple request of a kiss. The children, both dressed in the fashion of the time, seem unsure of how to respond, their expressions a mix of curiosity and hesitation. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the universal language of love and the importance of familial bonds. The image resonates with viewers today, as it speaks to the timeless nature of the mother-child relationship and the desire for affection and connection. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, offering insight into the daily lives and relationships of families during the mid-19th century. It is a testament to the enduring power of the photographic medium to capture and preserve moments of human emotion and experience. This image, "Mother Begs Kiss," is a beautiful and moving reminder of the importance of family and the simple joys of love and affection. It is a treasure of the photographic history, and a reminder of the power of the image to transport us to another time and place, and to touch our hearts with its timeless message.
