Waiting for Calls on New Year's Day (Harpers Bazar, Vol. II), January 2,1869
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black and white wood engraving from the late 19th century, we are transported back to a time of elegance and tradition in America. The image captures a scene indoors where a young woman is patiently waiting for calls on New Year's Day. Dressed in a stunning Victorian crinoline dress with a hoop skirt, the woman exudes grace and poise as she sits by an intricately carved wooden table. She is engrossed in reading letters or perhaps perusing the latest issue of Harpers Bazaar magazine. The room itself exudes warmth and sophistication with its richly detailed interior design. The soft lighting casts gentle shadows across the room, adding depth to the composition. This wood engraving by Unknown artist was published by Harper Brothers Publishers, known for their commitment to showcasing American artistry. It now resides within the prestigious collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we can't help but be reminded of an era when communication was slower-paced yet more meaningful. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst our modern world filled with constant connectivity, there is still value in taking moments to pause and appreciate life's simple pleasures – like waiting eagerly for calls on New Year's Day.
