EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1896, showcases sixteen intricately drawn place cards designed by Mills Thompson for an unidentified gathering of artists, musicians, and actors in Washington, D.C. Each place card, meticulously hand-drawn by Thompson, offers a humorous and insightful representation of the person it represents. The top row includes Mrs. Annes Findlay, depicted in a comedic pose, Mr. Frederic Bond with an ominous label of "Mr. Awful Dad" and wine bottles, and Miss Edythe Chapman holding a large rose. The second row features Bert Riddle in a baseball uniform, Mary Sanders acting out "Her last rehearsal," and Mills Thompson with an artist palette and buckets of paint. The third row includes Wm. Boag with tennis rackets, Corinne Parker, and Paul E. Wilstach with a paper and ink well, possibly suggesting his role as an author. The fourth row features Wm. Mackay with an artist palette and buckets of paint, Britta Marti, and Harris with an artist palette. The fifth row includes John Findlay with a pair of mustaches and a possible acting pose, Frances Benjamin Johnston with a camera on a tripod and an artist palette, and Charles Mackay with sketches of heads. The final row showcases Phister with a "Bier" stein and a stocking, not to be confused with the commercial brewing company. This photograph offers a delightful glimpse into the lives of these artistic individuals and their unique personalities, captured through the whimsical and imaginative place cards designed by Mills Thompson.
