Mother? Bewden, Grandmother? Bryce? is a 1860 photographic by London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a faded black-and-white photo of a woman. She has short, wavy hair and wears a high-necked dress with lace at the collar. Her expression is serious, almost neutral. The photo looks old, with a grainy texture. The photo was taken by a company that made early pictures like this. The name "Victoria Rooms" is printed at the bottom, but it’s not clear what that means here. Check out the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company to see how they worked.
A sepia-toned portrait depicts the head and shoulders of a woman facing the camera. She wears a high-necked, buttoned blouse and a brooch at her neck. The photograph was produced by the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company in 1860.
