EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "NEW YORK: CAMPING, c1888" transports us back to a simpler time in the late 19th century. The image captures a group of men immersed in an evening card game while camping amidst the breathtaking Adirondack Mountains in New York. The camaraderie among these American campers is palpable as they gather around a flickering campfire, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of lantern light. Engrossed in their game, they find solace and entertainment in this remote wilderness setting. The composition showcases a rustic lean-to structure that provides shelter for the men during their leisurely retreat into nature. It serves as a reminder of the resourcefulness required for survival during those times when modern amenities were scarce. As night falls over the Northeastern landscape, these adventurous souls embrace both the serenity and excitement that camping offers. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also reflects on our timeless human desire to connect with nature and seek respite from our daily routines. Preserved by the Library of Congress, this remarkable piece invites us to reflect on how much has changed since its creation over 130 years ago. Yet it also reminds us that some things remain constant – our need for recreation, companionship, and moments of escape from bustling city life.
