The Nooning, 1873
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating wood engraving from Harper's Weekly, published on August 16, 1873. The image, of unknown origin, offers a glimpse into the idyllic and leisurely pace of rural American life during the 19th century. The scene is set in a lush garden, where children are seen engaged in simple pleasures. A young boy, dressed in a white shirt and trousers, sits on the steps of a quaint, wooden house, his feet bare and his gaze fixed on a group of chickens clucking about in the yard. A curious dog sits at his side, its ears perked up in anticipation of the children's playful antics. The trees in the background are in full bloom, their branches heavy with leaves and their trunks adorned with vines. The sun casts a warm, golden light over the scene, illuminating the tranquility and beauty of the moment. The title "The Nooning" refers to the midday rest, a common practice during this era when people would take a break from their labors to enjoy the sunshine and the company of their loved ones. The image captures the essence of this concept, portraying a moment of relaxation and enjoyment in the midst of a hardworking day. This wood engraving, created by an unknown artist, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of America during the 1870s. It is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors with its timeless charm and nostalgic appeal.
