2012392 2012402 Dinner Dinning Laid Prayers Relates Slides
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming late 19th century lantern slide depicts a heartwarming moment of a family coming together for dinner. The scene shows a man, woman, and two children seated around a beautifully laid dining table. The table is adorned with an array of delicious-looking dishes, suggesting a home filled with love and abundance. The family members join hands and bow their heads in prayer, expressing gratitude for the meal and the time spent together. This slide is part of a collection of lantern slides, dating from around 1900, which were likely used for educational or entertainment purposes in the early days of projected slide shows. The set, including slides 2012.392 to 2012.402, offers a glimpse into the past and provides a window into the lives of families from the late 1800s. The image of the family sitting around the dinner table is a universal symbol of togetherness and the importance of family bonds. This slide, with its nostalgic charm, invites us to reflect on the enduring value of family and the simple pleasures of sharing a meal and expressing gratitude. The 1890s were a time of significant social and cultural change, and this slide offers a glimpse into the domestic life of the period. The image of the family at the dinner table is a poignant reminder of the importance of cherishing the moments we have with our loved ones and the role that food and family gatherings play in creating lasting memories.
