EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver photo captures the essence of Alice Foote MacDougall, a renowned figure in the restaurant industry during the early 20th century. Taken by Jessie Tarbox Beals between 1915 and 1925, this image showcases MacDougall seated on a couch with an open book in her hands, her face gently resting against her palm. The backdrop reveals an array of bookshelves, hinting at MacDougall's intellectual pursuits beyond her successful career. MacDougall's influence extended far beyond Greenwich Village in New York City, where she gained fame for her culinary expertise. As a pioneering businesswoman, she revolutionized the dining experience by introducing innovative concepts and elevating food quality to new heights. Her restaurants became social hubs frequented by artists, writers, and intellectuals who were drawn to both her delectable cuisine and vibrant personality. In this photograph, we witness MacDougall's grace and poise as she takes a momentary pause from her busy life to immerse herself in literature. Her expression exudes intelligence and contemplation while also reflecting the determination that propelled her success. Preserved within the collection of the New-York Historical Society, this gelatin silver print allows us to glimpse into the world of Alice Foote MacDougall - a trailblazer whose legacy continues to inspire generations of entrepreneurs today.
