EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver photo, titled "Boston Common & frog-pond, by tree, Boston, USA" transports us back in time to the early 20th century. Taken between 1902 and 1910 by photographer Jessie Tarbox Beals, this print showcases a serene winter scene of the iconic Boston Common. In the foreground stands a majestic tree adorned with snow-covered branches, its beauty enhanced by the contrast against the white landscape. Park benches rest peacefully beneath it, inviting viewers to imagine themselves taking a moment of respite amidst nature's wintry embrace. As our gaze extends beyond the tree line, we catch sight of a church spire piercing through the cold air. This subtle detail adds depth and character to an already picturesque setting. The frozen Frog Pond lies nearby, its surface reflecting both sky and surrounding buildings like a mirror. Beals masterfully captures not only the physical elements but also evokes an atmosphere that speaks volumes about life in early 20th-century Boston. It is as if time has stood still within this photograph; one can almost hear muffled footsteps on snow-covered paths and feel the crispness of winter's chill. Preserved within this gelatin silver photo is not just an image but also a glimpse into history—a testament to Beals' talent for capturing moments that transcend time itself. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection at New-York Historical Society, we are reminded of how art can transport us across generations and connect us with
