Mr and Mrs Gordon Young, not a good picture though I see a great likeness. She has very light hair and he is a good looking man! Their boy Percy who is standing by them is a very nice little fellow & a great favorite of mine. Photographer: James, Henry Curry
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Family portrait. The woman has a caged bird on her lap. The portrait shows William Gordon Young (b. 7.3.1824), Bengal Civil Service, Director of Public Instruction, Lower Provinces in 1858, his wife Jessie Palmer Young and their son Percy Gordon Radstock Young (b. 1852). The reference to Mrs Young's hair relates to the blue-sensitive characteristics of early photographic materials: this has resulted in her hair looking black.
Subjects = dress (European); hill stations
