EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting 19th-century engraving, we are transported back in time to witness a secret romance unfolding at the foot of a staircase.

The scene encapsulates the complexities of daily life in America during this era - where love and passion could be found even in the most unlikely of places. The couple's gesture of affection is juxtaposed against the older woman's shocked expression, highlighting the contrast between youthful ardor and more conservative sensibilities.
