EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Woman with her toilet - autochrome" captures a moment frozen in time from the early 20th century. Taken by G. Henry in 1910, this image showcases a woman engrossed in her daily beauty routine. The woman's delicate features are accentuated by her carefully styled hair and flawless complexion. With a brush in hand, she meticulously tends to every strand of hair, ensuring it falls perfectly into place. Surrounding her are various beauty products and accessories that reflect the standards of femininity during that era. A mirror positioned strategically allows the woman to observe herself as she applies makeup or perhaps admires her own reflection. The autochrome technique used by G. Henry adds an ethereal quality to the image, casting a soft glow on the scene. This photograph not only serves as a visual record of past beauty rituals but also offers us insight into societal expectations placed upon women at that time. It reminds us of their dedication to maintaining an idealized appearance despite limited resources available. Preserved within private collections for over a century, this stunning print is now made accessible through Leonard de Selva's lens. Its timeless charm continues to captivate viewers today, inviting contemplation about how notions of beauty have evolved throughout history while celebrating the enduring allure of femininity captured through photography.
