EDITORS COMMENTS
The Picnic Excursion (Appletons Journal, Vol. I), August 14,1869 captures a delightful scene from the 19th century America. This print, created by an unknown artist, takes us back to a time when leisurely day trips were enjoyed in horse-drawn vehicles. In this charming engraving, we see a group of men and women gathered for a countryside picnic. The men are smartly dressed in Victorian attire while the ladies don elegant dresses with parasols to shield them from the summer sun. A large picnic basket filled with delicious treats is prominently displayed at the center of the image. The atmosphere is one of merriment and relaxation as they enjoy each other's company amidst nature's beauty. The lush green landscape serves as their backdrop, transporting us to a simpler time when public transport meant horse-drawn carriages rather than automobiles. This print not only provides us with a glimpse into 19th-century American life but also showcases Winslow Homer's artistic talent through his detailed depiction of people and their surroundings. It is no wonder that this piece has found its place within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art collection. As we admire this historical artifact today, it reminds us to cherish moments spent outdoors with loved ones and appreciate how transportation has evolved over time.
