EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures Louisa May Alcott, the renowned American author of 'Little Women,' deeply engrossed in her writing as she dons her unique 'scribbling suit' in the late 19th century. The photograph, taken around 1880 by Frank Thayer Merrill for the Boston firm FT Merrill & Co., showcases Alcott's dedication to her craft. Sitting at a simple table and chair, she wears a pointed cap and a voluminous, high-collared dress, which she playfully referred to as her 'scribbling suit.' The papers and inkwell scattered around her suggest the intensity and focus required to bring her stories to life. The scene is a testament to Alcott's unwavering commitment to her fiction, which continues to resonate with readers over a century later.
