EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Sheffield Weekly Telegraph poster, dating back to 1901, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Preserved with utmost care at Sheffield Libraries and now available for all to appreciate, this image transports us to a bygone era in Sheffield, Yorkshire. The photograph showcases an intriguing moment captured by skilled photographers of that time. The subject matter of this particular image remains shrouded in mystery; however, what is evident is the directive given to those being photographed: "now look pleasant". This simple phrase hints at the photographer's desire to capture genuine emotions and expressions on film. It serves as a reminder that even over a century ago, photographers were keenly aware of their subjects' demeanor and sought authenticity in their work. Sheffield City Archives have ensured that this remarkable piece of history endures through meticulous preservation efforts. The faded sepia tones evoke nostalgia while adding an air of timeless elegance to the scene depicted. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when photography was still evolving as an art form. Let us cherish these glimpses into our shared heritage held within archives like Sheffield City Archives—a testament not only to our collective history but also a celebration of human ingenuity and creativity behind each photograph taken during those early days of photography's infancy.
