EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "[John Burnet], 1860s" is a remarkable piece of art created by the talented duo John & Charles Watkins. Taken in the 19th century using the albumen print technique, this photograph showcases their mastery in capturing the essence of their subject. The image features a distinguished British man named John Burnet, whose gaze exudes confidence and intellect. His strong presence is beautifully highlighted against the monochromatic backdrop, emphasizing his importance as a figure during that era. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a time when photography was still in its early stages. The meticulous attention to detail evident in every aspect of this portrait demonstrates both John & Charles Watkins' artistic skill and technical expertise. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this albumen silver print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of these pioneering photographers. Their collaboration has left an indelible mark on British art history and continues to inspire contemporary artists today. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the past – an era filled with innovation and exploration. It reminds us of our shared heritage and invites us to reflect upon how far photography has come since then.
