EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph captures the vibrant and fashionable scene of "Turn-Outs" in Central Park, New York City, in 1869. Created by renowned printmakers Currier and Ives, this artwork showcases the elegance and charm of horse-drawn carriages amidst a picturesque country setting. Central Park serves as the backdrop for this delightful snapshot of 19th-century American life. The park's lush greenery provides a serene atmosphere for leisurely outings, attracting both locals and visitors alike. In this image, men donning dapper attire take on the role of coachmen, skillfully maneuvering their horse-drawn vehicles along the park's pathways. The fashion-conscious individuals depicted here are dressed to impress. Women flaunt their stylish dresses while men exude sophistication in their suits and top hats. This display of sartorial splendor reflects societal norms at that time when dressing well was considered essential for any public outing. Currier and Ives' meticulous hand-tinting technique adds depth to this lithograph, bringing each detail to life with vivid colours. The artist Thomas B Worth masterfully captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of joy and excitement among those enjoying a day out in Central Park. As we gaze upon this historical print from The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, we are transported back to an era where horse-drawn carriages were not just modes of transportation but symbols of status and refinement. It is through such images that we can appreciate how our ancestors embraced fashion trends while relishing moments spent in nature's embrace.
