Some antique babies look sweet.
Some look bewildered.
This baby would like a word.
This antique carte de visite features an unidentified baby in a long white gown, propped carefully for their studio portrait and staring directly into the camera with what I can only describe as deep concern regarding your recent choices.
The little furrowed brow is killing me.
Whatever was happening on the other side of that camera, this baby did not approve.
The photograph itself has that wonderfully soft, slightly faded Victorian quality, while the baby's face remains remarkably expressive. It's exactly the sort of antique photograph I love finding because you don't need to know who the person was for the picture to have an entire personality.
Their real name and story have been lost to time.
So now they're simply The Judgy Baby.
Put them on your desk when you need accountability. Add them to a gallery wall. Keep them near your tarot table when a client asks whether she should text that man for the seventh time.
Just look at the baby.
The baby knows.
Also wonderful for antique photograph collections, Victorian displays, cabinets of curiosities, ancestor-style altars, psychometry or intuitive practice.
