Portraits from the Progressive Era by Michael Miley (1841–1918) / HD Colorized Photographs

Описание: Welcome to this captivating collection of family portraits captured by Michael Miley (1841–1918), one of the most distinguished photographers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Working primarily in Lexington, Virginia, Miley created a remarkable archive of glass plate negatives that preserved the daily life, fashions, and intimate moments of families, students, and local dignitaries.

Miley’s work is celebrated for its clarity, composition, and artistry. His studio, later known as M. Miley & Son, specialized in studio portraits, capturing the personality and relationships of his subjects with extraordinary attention to detail. The photographs reveal the social customs of the era, from formal family arrangements to subtle displays of affection between parents and children, siblings, and extended relatives.

These portraits not only highlight the evolving fashions of the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods, such as high-necked dresses, corseted waists, and elaborately styled hair, but also offer a visual record of historical domestic life in Virginia. Many of Miley’s photographs are preserved in the Michael Miley Photograph Collection at Washington and Lee University, providing a rich source for historians, photography enthusiasts, and those fascinated by family life in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

This video presents 50 colorized (colourised) images, allowing you to fully appreciate the artistry and historical significance of Michael Miley’s work. From intimate studio sessions to larger family group portraits, each image tells a story of a bygone era, giving life to the faces and fashions of a generation long past.
