Morning–The Bathroom

Clarence H. White

ca. 1906 · Platinum print · Photographs

This ingratiating vision of youthful feminine grace demonstrates White’s ability to find sentiment even in the commonplace. Made shortly before moving his family to New York City, the photograph reveals a vision nurtured by and dependent on the time-honored customs and values of small-town life, far from the modern urban world he was about to embrace.
