EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver photo from 1916 showcases Edith Unger, the enigmatic owner of the renowned Mad Hatter Tea Room. With her short hair and confident demeanor, she exudes a sense of independence and sophistication that was rare for women during this time period. The photograph captures her sitting cross-legged on a ledge outside a window, engrossed in chiseling a bust of another woman. The composition is strikingly intimate, as if we have stumbled upon Edith in a private moment of artistic expression. Her focused gaze and steady hand reveal her dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail. The juxtaposition of the delicate act of sculpting with the industrial backdrop adds an intriguing layer to the image. Edith's choice to pose outside rather than within the confines of her tea room suggests an unconventional spirit unafraid to challenge societal norms. This photograph not only documents social life and customs but also serves as a testament to female empowerment at a time when women were fighting for their rights. Preserved by the New-York Historical Society, this gelatin silver print by Jessie Tarbox Beals offers us a glimpse into Edith Unger's world – one where creativity flourishes amidst adversity. It reminds us that art has always been an avenue for self-expression and liberation, allowing individuals like Edith Unger to leave their mark on history.
