EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, created by Edward Penfield for Harper's June edition between 1893 and 1899, transports us back to the late 19th century in America. The image, published by Harper Publications in New York, depicts two people, a man and a woman, seated in a striped rowing boat against the backdrop of a serene river. The tranquility of the scene is accentuated by the vibrant colors and intricate lettering that adorn the poster. The geographical feature in the foreground, with its winding river and lush greenery, is a testament to the natural beauty of the United States. The man, dressed in a collared shirt and pants, and the woman, wearing a flowing dress, embody the leisurely pursuits of the season. The use of black color and bold stripes adds a dynamic contrast to the otherwise idyllic setting. Penfield's mastery of lithography is evident in the intricate details of the boat, the textured water, and the delicate rendering of the foliage. This poster is a prime example of the heritage art that emerged during the Gilded Age in America, and a reminder of the rich cultural history that continues to inspire us today. The image is part of the Wallach Division Picture Collection at the New York Public Library, a treasure trove of historical and artistic treasures that showcase the diversity and complexity of American history.
