Backdrop Bench Nellie Furniture Stagg
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming studio portrait captures the special bond between a young woman named Nellie and her beloved dog, Stagg, on a crisp autumn day in October 1916. The black-and-white photograph shows Nellie sitting elegantly on a wooden bench, dressed in fashionable 1910s attire, with a demure expression on her face. Her devoted canine companion, Stagg, sits obediently at her feet, gazing up at her with unwavering loyalty. The backdrop of the studio is adorned with a painted scene of lush greenery and flowers, providing a beautiful contrast to the stark, wooden bench and the simple, monochrome palette of the photograph. The use of a painted backdrop was a common practice in studio portraits of the era, as it allowed photographers to create a more romanticized and idealized setting for their subjects. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of wartime and change, when the simple pleasures of life, such as the companionship of a faithful pet, held great significance. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between people and their pets, and the role that animals play in our lives as sources of comfort, love, and companionship.
