Isabel Wachenheimer met bloemen in haar hand en in het haar tijdens het gouden huwelijksjubileum van Mathilde Wachenheimer-Wertheimer en Meir Wachenheimer, op 22 oktober 1934 Possibly 1934

This photograph of Isabel Wachenheimer with flowers in her hand and in her hair was taken on October 22, 1934, during the golden wedding anniversary of Mathilde Wachenheimer-Wertheimer and Meir Wachenheimer by an anonymous artist. I can feel the artist behind the lens, carefully framing Isabel, trying to capture this moment in time. What was it like to be them, in that room, on that day? What were they thinking when they pressed the shutter, freezing her image in time? The little details, like the way her dress falls or the earnestness in her eyes, these speak to the weight of history. It's as if the photograph becomes a window into a particular time. It reminds me how artists are constantly engaging with what came before, always searching for new ways to make sense of it all, so that we can have a glimpse into what once was.
