EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from an amateur production of the play titled "The Amazons" at Barnard College in New York. The all-female cast is beautifully posed, showcasing their talent and dedication to their craft. Dressed in elaborate costumes reminiscent of the 19th century, these actresses exude elegance and grace. In this particular moment, we see the performers engaged in an afternoon tea setting on stage. A musician strums a guitar while others enjoy a beverage from delicate cups and saucers. The set design features a backdrop that transports us to another time, adding depth to the theatrical experience. The image perfectly encapsulates the essence of this performance - civilised yet captivating, with each actress fully immersed in her role. Their expressions convey both intensity and joy as they bring this play to life for their audience. Photographed by Byron Company during the early 20th century, this silver gelatin print has been preserved by the Museum of the City of New York. It serves as a testament to not only the artistry displayed on stage but also to the rich history of theatre in America. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this timeless moment through photography, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance within our cultural heritage.
