A young girl occupies the heart of three intimately connected moments. The girl’s simple, but well-tailored dress and impeccably styled hair, typical of the time, gives us a hint of her upbringing as well as the familial pride behind these staged photographs. This carefully curated presentation can be seen as a playful but serious petit bourgeois staging for a young girl’s entrance into a new technological age. Let’s hope she fared better than the book.
