EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Mrs. Tinkman, a mysterious figure captured by renowned American photographer William H. Mumler in the mid-19th century. Mumler, based in Boston, Massachusetts, was known for his pioneering work in spirit photography. In this albumen silver print dating between 1862 and 1875, Mrs. Tinkman's enigmatic presence is palpable. Her piercing gaze seems to hold secrets untold as she gazes into the camera lens with an air of both vulnerability and strength. Mumler's expertise in capturing ethereal images is evident here; he skillfully combines light and shadow to create an otherworldly atmosphere that adds to the mystique surrounding Mrs. Tinkman. The delicate details of her attire are impeccably preserved through the albumen silver printing process, lending a sense of timelessness to this image frozen within its frame. As we contemplate this photograph today, we are transported back to a bygone era where spiritualism and belief in the supernatural were prevalent. The viewer cannot help but wonder about Mrs. Tinkman's story - who she was, what experiences shaped her life, and why she chose to sit for Mumler's lens. This mesmerizing print serves as a testament not only to Mumler's technical mastery but also his ability to capture human emotion and intrigue within each frame he produced during his illustrious career as one of America's most celebrated photographers.
