Scholarly Commentary
Introduction
Mrs. Morris standing facing right, outdoors against a black
backdrop in front of a white cloth. The image is particularly startling because
it contains two ghostly framing areas around Mrs. Morris, as we see in several other
prints from this picture series (notably
Jane Morris standing, in marquee).
These effects were generated subsequent to
the shoot. They are due to the deterioration of the wet collodion
negatives during handling.
