EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the 1880s and the idyllic summer holidays of the beloved characters from Louisa May Alcott's classic novel, Little Women. In the scene, Jo March (played by Fanny Thayer) and Laurie (Frank Thayer Merrill) are seen enjoying a leisurely boat ride on the tranquil river. The sun casts a warm glow over the water, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The sisters and their dear friend are fully immersed in the simple pleasures of the season, taking a break from their daily lives and responsibilities. The sisters, Jo and Meg, Amy, and Beth, are known for their strong bond and their determination to live fulfilling lives. In this moment, Jo and Laurie's friendship is on full display, as they share a moment of relaxation and camaraderie. The novel, published in two parts in 1868 and 1869, has remained a cherished piece of American literature and continues to resonate with readers of all ages. The scene of Jo and Laurie boating on the river is a beautiful representation of the novel's themes of love, friendship, and the importance of cherishing the simple moments in life. This engraving, created in 1880, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Little Women and the timeless joy of a summer day spent on the water.
