    Elegant Portrait of a Woman, Circa 1910-1915

    $19.95

    This photograph features Mrs. Helen Angel, captured between 1910 and 1915 by the Bain News Service. During this period, photography was evolving rapidly, moving from labor-intensive processes to more accessible methods for capturing everyday life and notable figures. The use of glass negatives, as seen here, allowed for high detail and clarity, making images like this one not just records, but works of art in their own right.

    Mrs. Angel represents a typical figure of the early 20th century, a time when societal roles were significantly shifting, especially for women. The era was marked by movements advocating for womens rights, including suffrage, which gained momentum during this decade. As women began to assert their presence in public life, photographs like this one help us understand their roles and the visual culture of the time. Today, such images provide a window into the past, showcasing both individuals and the broader societal changes occurring in the early 1900s.

    Taken by a prominent photographer of the time, this image is a remarkable example of the craftsmanship involved in early photography. The Bain News Service documented many significant events and people, contributing to historical archives that help us piece together social narratives from over a century ago. This photograph stands as a testament to the artistry and technique prevalent in that era, preserving a glimpse of a moment that might otherwise be forgotten.
