EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mrs Hall, Newhaven, 1843-47" captures the essence of Victorian working-class life. The image showcases a fisherwoman named Mrs Hall, seated gracefully with an apron tied around her waist and a headscarf adorning her head. Her weathered hands hold a wicker basket filled with the day's catch, symbolizing her hard work and dedication to her trade. The salt paper print from calotype negative technique used in this photograph adds depth and texture to Mrs Hall's portrait. The delicate details of her face are beautifully preserved, allowing us to appreciate the lines etched by time on her features. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness the daily struggles and resilience of individuals like Mrs Hall who made their living through laborious occupations. It serves as a poignant reminder of the diverse social fabric that existed during the mid-19th century. The collaboration between David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson resulted in an extraordinary piece of art that not only documents history but also evokes empathy towards those whose stories might have otherwise been forgotten. This particular print is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately but generously shared with the public through Bridgeman Images. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we cannot help but admire Mrs Hall's strength and dignity captured for eternity - a testament to both photography as an art form and human perseverance throughout generations.
