EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph, titled "Cheery Families - Mrs. Putty the Painter's Wife," captures a moment of joy and relaxation in the 1890s. The image, taken by renowned photographer Richard Doyle, depicts a group of women gathered around a table in a cozy Victorian row house in London's Bunhill area. The women, dressed in their Sunday best, are engaged in a lively game of cards, their faces filled with smiles and laughter. At the head of the table, Mrs. Putty, the painter's wife, sits proudly, her apron adorned with paint splatters and jars of turps and turpentine nearby. Her husband, a painter by trade, is likely away at work, allowing her a moment of respite from her domestic duties. The women's playful banter and friendly competition are a testament to the camaraderie and community that existed among working-class families during this era. The design of the photograph is reminiscent of the popular "Cheery Families" series, which captured the everyday lives of working-class Londoners. The warm lighting and candid expression on the women's faces add to the overall sense of happiness and contentment. This photograph is a precious reminder of the simple pleasures and joys that could be found in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Victorian London.
