The poetess' mother had gone on a vacation by the sea in the past. She laughed after catching a glance of the picture, which may have brought up memories of shared joy.

Who is the poet of the poem 'A Photograph'?

• The author of "A Photograph" is Shirley Toulson.
• Looking at a picture of her mother when she was around twelve years old as a child, the author of this poem remembers her mother and her memories.
• She passed away twelve years ago, thus she is unable to articulate her sorrow over her mother's passing.

Therefore, the poet's mother is honoured in the poem. She is looking at an old, cardboard-framed picture of her mother. The poet's mother had passed away twelve years prior, which is the same amount of time since the time the portrait was taken. She is devastated by her mother's absence, but she is unable to express it.
