Times is bad. Photographer: Keighley, Alexander
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Pictorialist study of a young woman, posed as a flower-seller and seated in a doorway. With descriptive letterpress: 'The picture is an illustration of the development of a subject from its original form or design. The first idea was the somewhat hackneyed one of a flower-girl offering her wares to the passers-by, but a few preliminary sketches which were made gradually gave it a new direction, and the picture was worked out to give a more pathetic interest by representing the disappointment of a bad day:-
'She sat on a doorstep and waited long
Alone, unheeded, and the throng
Of human beings who passed by,
Nor heeded the glance of her anxious eye.'
Anon.'
