EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the autumnal season of the late 1800s in America, where the age-old tradition of the Apple-Bee held great significance for young ladies seeking insight into their future. This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a young woman proudly displaying an apple peel with a clear initial 'M' at its center. The Apple-Bee tradition, also known as the Apple-Marriage or Apple-Divination, was a popular autumnal pastime that originated in Europe and was brought to the New World. The ritual began with the lady carefully peeling an apple, ensuring the peel remained intact. Once completed, the peel was then thrown over her shoulder and the first initial of the future husband's name was believed to appear in the way the peel curled. This photograph, taken circa 1860, captures the essence of this historical tradition as the young woman, dressed in the fashion of the era, holds up the apple peel for all to see. The apple tree in the background adds to the idyllic setting, further emphasizing the connection between the autumn season and the Apple-Bee tradition. As the leaves change colors and the air grows crisp, this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and customs that have shaped our past. The Apple-Bee tradition, with its simple yet profound symbolism, continues to intrigue us and offers a glimpse into the lives of our ancestors during a time when the changing of the seasons marked the passage of time and the anticipation of new beginnings.
