Vrouw met bezem wacht man op in deuropening 1897

"A Lady in Waiting" is a stereoscopic photograph created by R.Y. Young in 1897. This humorous image depicts a woman holding a broom, seemingly waiting impatiently for a man to enter a doorway. The photograph, intended for a stereoscope viewer, uses two identical images slightly offset to create a three-dimensional effect. The use of a simple domestic setting and a humorous scenario aligns this work with the popular Victorian genre of "comic photographs". This piece offers a glimpse into the social norms and humor of the late 19th century.
