| 2. |  | Bruno Braquehais 1850-1852 Female Nude at Mirror Daguerreotype, hand-coloured 2 1/2 x 2 1/4 in J. Paul Getty Museum The J. Paul Getty Trust (84.XT.1582.31) A young woman in a transparent gown stands against a mirror that reveals her bare shoulder and coyly hints at the rest of her charms hidden in its reflection. She braids her hair, her upraised arms cleverly concealing her breasts. No other part of her is covered save for her stockinged feet, surprising in their black-toed practicality. The conspicuously crumpled cloth on the chair at the lower right of the image is a subtle reminder of the ordinary circumstances of the photographic sitting: this is not an actual glimpse into a boudoir but a model posing for a fictional scene. Perhaps the fabric was the model's clothing, unceremoniously cast off as she assumed the role of seductress for the camera. Likewise, the rope that appears to hold erect the mirror at right is a reminder of the smoke-and-mirrors theatricality that was common in photographic studios. The photographer has chosen to make visible rather than hide these elements that point to the mundane aspect of studio photography, thus breaking the alluring spell of the would-be enchantress and letting the viewer in on the tricks of the trade. |
| 3. |  | William Edward Kilburn 1848 Jenny Lind (1820-87) standing at a piano Daguerreotype 11.5 x 9.1 cm Royal Photograph Collection The Royal Collection ® 2010, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, RCIN 2932510 This photograph was included in the exhibition Victoria & Albert: Art & Love at The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace, until 31 October 2010. Acquired by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. In 2010 this photograph was uploaded to flickr by The British Monarchy. The text on the Royal Collection website (www.royalcollection.org.uk) describes this Daguerreotype (Accesssed: 6 Aug 2010): W.E. Kilburn showed several examples of his work at the Great Exhibition, where he received a Prize Medal. His daguerreotype of Jenny Lind standing at the piano was particularly well received (Reports by the Juries, pp. 600-601): For novelty of design we may mention a small picture of the interior of a room, including a whole-length portrait of Jenny Lind: beside, and near her, is a large mirror, in which the figure is reflected. That the reflection in the glass is equally perfect with the original is the point worthy of remark and commendation. |
