The Late Riser
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful sepia-toned print that captures the humor and charm of the early 20th century. In this stereoscopic card, we are transported back in time to witness a humorous depiction of a young woman's morning routine. The image shows a bedroom scene with a young woman stretching her arms as she rises from her bed. With disheveled hair and wearing a nightie, she exudes an air of laziness and reluctance to start her day. The artist, William Herman Rau, skillfully portrays the comical side of our daily struggle to wake up and face the world. Stereoscopic cards were immensely popular during this era, offering viewers an immersive experience through their 3D images. This particular card is part of Prismatic Pictures' collection and showcases Rau's talent for capturing everyday moments with wit and creativity. As we gaze at this charming photograph, we can't help but smile at the relatable scene before us. The mirror on the wall reflects not only the young woman's preparation but also our own morning rituals. From adjusting petticoats to glancing into looking glass, it reminds us that even in different times, some things never change. "The Late Riser" serves as both entertainment and nostalgia—a timeless reminder that laughter can be found in even life's simplest moments.
