EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time from 1907, showcasing the art of pastry making. A group of women can be seen diligently preparing pies, with one woman wearing an apron as she expertly makes a slit on top of the pie crust. This small detail is crucial in allowing steam to escape during the baking process, ensuring that the pie turns out perfectly golden and flaky. The scene exudes a sense of warmth and nostalgia, transporting us back to a simpler time when homemade cooking was a cherished tradition. The attention to detail and precision displayed by these women is truly admirable, highlighting their skill and dedication to creating delicious dishes for their families. As we admire this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the timeless appeal of baking and cooking as forms of creative expression. The act of making food from scratch not only nourishes our bodies but also feeds our souls, connecting us to our heritage and bringing joy to those around us. Mary Evans has beautifully captured this moment in history through her lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. This print serves as a reminder of the importance of honoring culinary traditions and savoring the simple pleasures found in homemade meals.
