Om værket
In an 1899 article, Stieglitz singled out The Net Mender as his favorite of his own photographs: “It expresses the life of a young Dutch woman: every stitch in the mending of the fishing net, the very rudiment of her existence, brings forth a torrent of poetic thoughts in those who watch her sit there on the vast and seemingly endless dunes, toiling with that seriousness and peacefulness which is so characteristic of these sturdy people.” He noted that the exhibition prints were printed at the scale seen here because “the subject needs size to fully express it.”

Imens i livet hos Alfred Stieglitz
Hele livetspring 1893
Co-editor of The American Amateur Photographer
In the spring of 1893 Stieglitz became co-editor of The American Amateur Photographer but refused a salary: his Photochrome company was now printing the magazine's photogravures, and he wanted to avoid any appearance of bias.
c. 16.11.1893
Married: Emmeline Stieglitz
1896
Vice-president of the new Camera Club
In May 1896 two organisations merged to form the Camera Club of New York; offered the presidency, Stieglitz became vice-president instead and was involved in every aspect of the club. Late that year he hand-pulled the photogravures for the first portfolio of his own work, Picturesque Bits of New York and Other Studies.
