EDITORS COMMENTS
FOLK TRADITION, 1870. The Turn of the Tune" is a captivating lithograph by Currier & Ives that beautifully captures the essence of American folk culture in the late 19th century. The image showcases an idyllic village scene, set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a rustic log cabin. In this charming depiction, we see a young girl playing her violin with great skill and passion, surrounded by villagers who are captivated by her music. A horseman on horseback rides past, his presence adding to the sense of movement and liveliness in the scene. The lithograph transports us back to a simpler time when folk traditions were an integral part of daily life. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for a bygone era where community gatherings centered around music and storytelling. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable - from the intricate patterns on the girl's dress to the weathered texture of the log cabin. Every element contributes to creating an authentic representation of rural America during this period. "FOLK TRADITION, 1870. The Turn of the Tune" serves as both a celebration and preservation of American folk customs and music. It reminds us that these traditions have deep roots in our history and continue to shape our cultural identity today. This print is not just a piece of art; it is also an invitation to immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of American heritage through its vibrant portrayal of daily life infused with folk music.
