"Darby and Joan, c.1890s" is a notable photograph taken by the renowned British photographer Frank Meadow Sutcliffe (1853–1941). Sutcliffe, who gained prominence for his work documenting life in and around Whitby, North Yorkshire, captured this image during the late 19th century, a period in which he was most active and produced some of his most significant work.

The photograph "Darby and Joan" depicts an elderly couple, embodying the quintessential representation of enduring companionship and marital commitment. The term "Darby and Joan" has its origins in an 18th-century poem by Henry Woodfall, and it became a popular idiom referring to a devoted, albeit old, married couple. Sutcliffe's choice to title his photograph after this expression suggests a deliberate intention to highlight the themes of lasting love and the shared journey of life.

In the image, the couple is typically shown in a domestic or pastoral setting, which reinforces the timeless and universal nature of the subjects. The composition, lighting, and the captured expressions of the subjects are characteristic of Sutcliffe's photographic style, which often combined the aesthetic qualities of fine art with the realism of everyday life.

As a work of art, "Darby and Joan, c.1890s" is significant for its artistic merit as well as its sociocultural relevance. It provides a window into the values and sentiments of the Victorian era, particularly concerning age, marriage, and companionship. Furthermore, the photograph is an example of early documentary photography, a genre in which Sutcliffe was a pioneer, using his camera to record the social conditions and characters of his time.
