Scholarly Commentary
Introduction
This pose is closely related to
another pose in which Mrs. Morris is outdoors
under a marquee and against a white backgroup, with her hands clasped at her
midriff. In this pose her body is turned to the left but her face is turned directly
at the camera. As in the related pose, this exists in two printed states, this modern print showing the whole of the original
negative's compositional structure, and
the print originally made in 1865, which is cropped closer.
The Victoria and Albert Museum has two other prints of this
picture. Both are modern prints, versions of this. One of these is
a
black and white print, the other is a
sepia print. These are not included in the
Gordon Bottomly album of prints.
