My Helene, On her Lap Little Mathilda Asleep, and Close By, Our Two Other Children, Robert and Little Louise, 1851. Additional Info: The warm expressions of the photographer's wife and children reveal their intimate relationship. All of the faces are slightly blurred. Helene and the children would have had to sit perfectly still for upwards of thirty seconds. The tenderness of this family scene contrasts with the severe-looking protrusion that appears above their heads, which Biewend has spared them. Such head clamps were commonly used devices for keeping sitters still during long exposures.
