EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "HAMMOCK, 1925" we are transported back to the early days of American cinema. The image captures director William K. Howard taking a momentary break from the hustle and bustle of filming on the set of the silent movie, The Light of the Western Star. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of the wild west, Director Howard finds solace in a hammock as he tries it out for himself. This candid scene offers us a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of filmmaking in the 1920s. The hammock becomes a symbol not only of relaxation but also represents an era when movies were still finding their footing as an art form. It is fascinating to see how even then, directors like Howard sought moments of respite amidst their creative endeavors. This photograph serves as a time capsule, transporting us back to an America that was still discovering its identity in film and entertainment. As we gaze upon this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we can't help but feel connected to those early pioneers who paved the way for what would become one of our most beloved industries today. Captured by The Granger Collection in New York City, this print is not just an artifact; it's a reminder that even within our fast-paced lives, there will always be room for reflection and rejuvenation – whether it be through siestas or simply swinging gently in a hammock under dappled sunlight.
