EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Pettigrew sisters, 22 August 1891" captures a rare glimpse into the lives of these Victorian women. Standing side by side with an air of confidence, the sisters exude elegance and poise in their full-length nudity. The platinum print technique used by Edward Linley Sambourne adds a timeless quality to this vintage masterpiece. The image transports us back to a bygone era, where societal norms dictated modesty and decorum. Yet here we see the Pettigrew sisters defying conventions, embracing their bodies without shame or inhibition. Their sisterly bond is palpable as they stand together, united in their shared vulnerability. Sambourne's composition skillfully balances light and shadow, accentuating every curve and contour of the sisters' figures. The absence of color allows us to focus solely on their graceful forms while evoking a sense of nostalgia for a time long past. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded that beauty transcends time and societal expectations. It serves as a testament to the power of art to challenge our perceptions and provoke contemplation about our own notions of femininity and self-expression. This platinum print from 1891 is not just a stunning work of art; it is also an important historical document that sheds light on the complexities of female identity during the Victorian era.
