EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in New York City in 1907, captures a moment of intimate connection between a man and a woman. The image showcases the couple engrossed in playing a player piano, their fingers gracefully dancing across the keys. Dressed impeccably for an evening recital, the woman dons an elegant gown while the man wears a classic white tie ensemble with tails. The scene exudes sophistication and refinement, reflecting the society life of early 20th-century New York. As they sit side by side, their eyes locked on each other or perhaps lost in the music's enchantment, one can almost hear the melodious tunes filling the room. The silver gelatin print adds depth to this timeless image, capturing every intricate detail with stunning clarity. The photographer behind this masterpiece is Byron Company (fl. 1890-1942), known for his exceptional ability to capture moments that transcend time. This photograph not only serves as a visual representation of musical leisure but also offers us a glimpse into an era characterized by elegance and romance. It transports us back to an age when evenings were spent indulging in beautiful melodies and reveling in each other's company. Preserved within the Museum of the City of New York's collection, this print continues to captivate viewers with its nostalgic charm and enduring beauty.
