Auntie Mason and her husband
Item Information
- Title:
- Auntie Mason and her husband
- Description:
-
The daguerreotype period. (Bellows) / The elegance of Auntie Mason and her husband is conveyed by their classic daguerreotype pose and the close attention given to the rich fabric of their clothing. The ceremonious formality of the couple is in remarkable contrast to the informality and casualness of the couple in "In the Subway" (M. 88). (Mason)
