EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver photo, titled "Romany Maries in Greenwich Village, as vivid as a scarlet bird against a mountain pine!" by Jessie Tarbox Beals, transports us back to the vibrant streets of Greenwich Village in the early 20th century. The image captures the essence of bohemian life and social customs during that time. In this scene, we see Marie reclining on plush cushions before a crackling fireplace. Her presence is strikingly radiant, like a scarlet bird perched against the backdrop of a majestic mountain pine. The composition exudes an air of mystery and allure. A tea set sits elegantly before her on top of a chest, hinting at moments shared over warm conversations and fragrant brews. To the left of the photo stands an inviting table and bench, perhaps belonging to a nearby restaurant on Christopher Street or at 133 Washington Place. The photograph not only freezes this particular moment in time but also offers us glimpses into the rich tapestry of life in Greenwich Village during those years. It invites us to imagine ourselves among these free-spirited individuals who embraced unconventional lifestyles and celebrated artistic expression. Preserved within the collection of New-York Historical Society, this remarkable piece by Beals serves as both an exquisite work of art and an invaluable historical document. Its colors may have faded with age, but its power to transport us remains undiminished - allowing future generations to appreciate and marvel at this slice of New York's past.
