EDITORS COMMENTS
In this ambrotype print from 1865, we are transported back in time to witness a quiet moment between two women. Seated side by side, their attention is completely absorbed by the letters they hold in their hands. Their expressions reveal a mix of anticipation, joy, and perhaps even longing as they immerse themselves in the words written on those precious pieces of paper. The ambrotype technique used to capture this image adds an ethereal quality to the scene, with its delicate tones and soft focus. The women's clothing reflects the fashion of mid-19th century America, providing us with a glimpse into daily life during that era. As we gaze upon this portrait, we can't help but wonder about the stories behind these letters. Were they love letters from distant suitors? Or perhaps correspondence from loved ones serving in the Civil War? Whatever their contents may be, it is clear that these missives hold great significance for these unidentified women. Granger Art on Demand has masterfully preserved this historical gem for us to appreciate today. Through their meticulous restoration work and careful framing, they have ensured that this intimate moment frozen in time will continue to captivate viewers for generations to come.
