EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the 1880s, as depicted in Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel, "Little Women." In this scene from the book, the sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, gather around a table set for a special lunch. The centerpiece of their meal is a succulent lobster, its claws bound with twine, ready to be savored. The sisters, dressed in their finest, are surrounded by the trappings of a gracious 19th-century home. The table is adorned with elegant china, crystal glasses, and silverware. The room is filled with the warm glow of natural light filtering through the windows, casting a soft, inviting ambiance. This engraving, titled "Little Women by Louisa May Alcott - A Lobster for a Special Lunch," is a beautiful representation of a cherished moment from the novel. The sisters, having worked hard to earn the money for this indulgence, relish the opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal together. The lobster, with its intricate shell and expressive eyes, adds a touch of whimsy and wonder to the scene. The image, created by Frank Thayer Merrill, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Alcott's story. The sisters' bond and the simple pleasures they find in each other's company continue to resonate with readers over a century later. This charming vignette, with its focus on family, friendship, and the joy of a well-prepared meal, is a delightful reminder of the richness and depth of American literature and the 19th-century social scene.
