EDITORS COMMENTS
This cabinet photograph, titled "Smart Young Man," is a stunning example of early 20th century portrait photography from The John Barrett Collection, available on Mary Evans Prints Online. The young man in the image exudes confidence and sophistication, dressed in a dark suit, complete with a bowtie and waistcoat. His attire is accessorized with a decorative chain, adding an air of elegance to the overall appearance. The photograph was likely taken in a studio setting, as evidenced by the backdrop, which features a textured, dark background that enhances the subject's features. The use of a cabinet photograph format, with its ornate frame and glass front, further emphasizes the importance and value placed on this portrait. The Edwardian era, during which this photograph was taken, was a time of significant social and cultural change. The rise of the middle class and the increasing importance of personal appearance and self-presentation are reflected in the meticulous attention to detail in this photograph. The young man's smart attire and serious expression suggest a sense of ambition and determination, making this a truly remarkable image of a young man from the early 20th century. The photograph's rich history is further emphasized by the presence of the photographer's name, J.H. Burton, Newark, etched into the bottom right corner of the frame. This detail adds an intriguing personal touch to the image, allowing us to connect with the photographer and the time in which this portrait was created.
