EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Morning, 1886" by James Tissot takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century France. This black and white mezzotint on wove paper captures a serene moment in time, showcasing the artist's impeccable attention to detail. In this domestic scene, we find ourselves immersed in a country household as morning unfolds. A female servant gracefully carries a tray filled with breakfast delicacies, her dress reflecting the fashion of the era. The meticulous rendering of light and shadow adds depth to the image, enhancing its realism. Tissot's portrayal of this maid highlights not only her occupation but also her role as an essential member of the household. Her presence symbolizes the often overlooked contributions made by servants during that period. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this artwork is a testament to Tissot's mastery in capturing everyday moments with artistic finesse. As we gaze upon this trial proof print, we are transported back in time and reminded of the rich heritage art that continues to inspire us today. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that behind every great masterpiece lies countless untold stories waiting to be discovered. It invites us to appreciate not only the beauty within art but also those who have played vital roles in shaping our history – like this nameless maid whose humble service has been immortalized through Tissot's lens.
