EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1902 at Sherrys restaurant in New York City, offers a glimpse into the world of chefs during their lunch break. The image showcases a group of male cooks seated around a table, enjoying a well-deserved meal amidst their bustling kitchen environment. Dressed in crisp uniforms and donning traditional chef hats, these dedicated culinary professionals exude an air of camaraderie as they savor their midday respite. Bottles of wine adorn the table, hinting at the conviviality that often accompanies shared meals among colleagues. The composition captures not only the physical nourishment but also the emotional sustenance derived from this communal experience. It is evident that these chefs find solace and fulfillment in each other's company during what must have been long and arduous workdays. The silver gelatin print technique used to capture this moment adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its timeless quality. Preserved by the Museum of the City of New York, this photograph serves as a testament to both historical documentation and artistic expression. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from over a century ago, we are reminded of the enduring nature of human connection found within even mundane moments like sharing lunch with coworkers.
