Zes vrouwen rond een kaptafel 1852 - 1863

"Zes vrouwen rond een kaptafel" (Six Women Around a Dressing Table) is a stereoscopic photograph taken between 1852 and 1863 by Edwin Sutton. This image, a work of early photographic art, depicts a group of women engaged in a domestic scene. The composition, typical of Victorian-era photography, uses a wide-angle perspective to capture a moment of casual intimacy within the home. The stereoscopic format, prevalent in the 19th century, creates a three-dimensional illusion when viewed through a stereoscope. The photograph's small size (84 mm x 174 mm) suggests it was intended for personal viewing, highlighting the growing popularity of photography for documenting everyday life.
