Untitled (portrait of a little girl holding flowers and wearing bonnet) 1934

Editor: This is an "Untitled" photograph of a little girl in a bonnet holding flowers, captured by John Deusing. There isn't a specific date for it, and it looks like an inverted image. What do you make of it? Curator: It whispers of innocence, doesn't it? The reversed tones give it this ethereal, almost dreamlike quality. It reminds me of those old-fashioned photographic negatives, glimpses into a bygone era. Perhaps this image yearns to reveal more about forgotten memories, about beauty that fades, and time that marches on. Editor: So it’s not just a portrait, but also a little visual poem about time? Curator: Exactly! And isn't that the most delightful discovery of all?
