Hidden mothers in Victorian photographs are woman “hiding” under dark cloths holding their children as still as possible while the photographer takes a typically long exposure for the era. We “see” the mother under the cloth when we have a surviving photo that was never cropped in tightly on the child. There is a strange uncertainty about some of these photos however. Victorians would also take last photographs holding deceased loved ones, their hands sometimes tied piously into a position of prayer. Looking at these antique unlabelled photos we can’t be entirely sure if we are looking at someone living or dead.
