This is a photograph from the 1860s. Lady Hawarden set it up in her London home. Her daughter, Clementina, stands beside a mirror. A screen blocks the next room. A table to the left and a desk to the right frame the girl. Her camera appears in the mirror. It’s the biggest one she owned. Maybe her hand hovers near the lens cap, ready to start or stop the shot. Try the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
