EDITORS COMMENTS
In this gelatin silver photo captured by Jessie Tarbox Beals, we are introduced to the remarkable Mrs. Mary Moore of Brookline, Massachusetts. At 91 years old, she is depicted in a moment of sheer enchantment as she recites a ballad from memory. The photograph, taken between 1905 and 1927, showcases Mrs. Moore's timeless beauty and wisdom. Seated gracefully in an armchair adorned with delicate lace cap and oval glasses perched on her nose, Mrs. Moore exudes elegance and poise. Her raised finger signifies a pause in her recitation while her parted lips hint at the words about to flow effortlessly from her mouth. This image not only captures the essence of an older woman but also serves as a testament to the power of storytelling and oral tradition passed down through generations. It reminds us that age does not diminish one's ability to captivate an audience or share cherished tales. Preserved within the collection of the New-York Historical Society, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history – both personal and collective – allowing us to appreciate the resilience and grace embodied by women like Mrs. Mary Moore. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing portrait captured over a century ago, we are reminded that age is merely a number when it comes to preserving our passions and sharing our stories with others who will listen attentively for generations to come.
