Miss Elizabeth Logan 1843 - 1847

"Miss Elizabeth Logan" is a calotype portrait taken by the Scottish photographers Hill and Adamson in 1843-1847. This intimate and evocative image captures the young Elizabeth Logan, likely asleep, clutching a doll. The soft focus and use of natural light create a dreamy atmosphere, emphasizing the innocence and vulnerability of childhood. This work is an exceptional example of the early development of photographic portraiture and is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
