Mother Nursing Infant. 1923. Glass negative depicting a woman seated beside a bed, nursing an infant, likely a domestic interior scene dated 10-28-23 (1923). The image shows the mother in three-quarter profile, cradling the child, with visible furnishings including a wooden bedframe and pillow behind. A quiet, intimate vernacular moment captured with strong tonal range typical of period glass plate photography. Approximately 4 x 5".
Condition
Condition appears good overall with expected edge wear, minor emulsion irregularities, and light surface marks consistent with age and handling of a glass negative.
