EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 1880 engraving from Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel 'Little Women,' Mr. Laurence, portrayed by actor Frank Thayer Merrill, extends a kind gesture to the March sisters. With a top hat in hand and a warm smile, Mr. Laurence has just offered them the use of the piano in his elegant home. The girls, particularly Beth, played by Mary Mapes Dodge, are thrilled at the prospect of playing the instrument. Beth's sister Meg, played by Florence Turner, looks on approvingly, while Amy, portrayed by Edna Flugrath, appears thoughtful. The scene captures the simple pleasures and social graces of the 19th century, as well as the bond between the sisters and their thoughtful neighbor. This enchanting image, published in 1880, offers a glimpse into the world of 'Little Women' and the enduring charm of American literature.
