EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating photograph titled ""I could spend hours in thy society" Will o the Wisp Tea Room" transports us back to the enchanting era of early 20th century Greenwich Village, New York. Taken between 1905-1918 by Jessie Tarbox Beals, this gelatin silver print captures a moment frozen in time. In the image, we see Kitty Morton, a woman exuding an air of elegance and intellect with her glasses perched on her nose and a house coat draped around her. Standing at the open door of the renowned Will o the Wisp Tea Room in Sheridan Square, she seems lost in thought or perhaps awaiting someone's arrival. Outside, snow blankets the ground, adding a touch of winter magic to this scene. A man stands below Kitty, engaged in conversation with her. The wooden staircase leading to the second story can be seen on the right side of the frame. This photograph not only offers us a glimpse into social life and customs during that period but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times spent enjoying each other's company over tea. It invites us to imagine ourselves as patrons of this charming establishment where one could easily lose track of time amidst stimulating conversations and warm camaraderie. Preserved within the archives of New-York Historical Society, this timeless piece serves as a testament to both Beals' skillful photography and our enduring fascination with capturing moments that transcend generations.
