EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, two literary giants of their time, Mark Twain and George Washington Cable, are seen flanking the Moffett family. Taken on a chilly winter day in Quincy, Illinois in 1885, the image captures an intimate moment shared by these prominent figures. On the left stands Samuel Langhorne Clemens, famously known as Mark Twain. With his signature mustache and unruly hair peeking out from under his hat, he exudes a sense of humor that is reflected in his witty writings. On the right stands George Washington Cable, a renowned American writer who was admired for his insightful portrayals of Southern life. The Moffett family members are positioned between these literary luminaries. Widow Sarah M. Cox Moffett appears dignified yet somber as she holds her daughters Lizzie and Ella close to her side. Lizzie's husband Valentine Surghnor stands beside them with an air of quiet strength. This photograph not only captures a gathering of esteemed individuals but also offers us a glimpse into upper-class fashion during that era. The women don elegant dresses while the men sport formal attire befitting their status. As we gaze upon this historical print, we can't help but feel transported back to that momentous occasion when literature met family ties and creativity intertwined with love and support.
