EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph, titled 'Scene in an American Farmhouse on a November Night' by Carl Hoffmann, captures the cozy and rustic charm of a mid-19th century American farmhouse during the winter months. The scene is set around a long wooden table, where family members have gathered to play cards and enjoy each other's company. The men, dressed in woolen coats and hats, smoke their pipes filled with tobacco, the smoke curling up towards the low ceiling. The warmth of the room is accentuated by the glowing embers in the stove, casting a gentle glow over the family and their surroundings. A fur-lined hat and a baby's blanket are evidence of the cold winter night outside. A dog lies at the feet of one of the men, adding to the sense of home and hearth. The clock on the wall shows the late hour, and a candle on the table casts a soft, flickering light over the fruits and vegetables that lie on the table. The simple, rustic decor of the farmhouse is a testament to the self-sufficient lifestyle of the time. This beautiful lithograph, published in Carl Hoffmann's 'Book of the World' in 1857, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time when family and community were at the heart of daily life. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the scene to life, making it a cherished addition to any collection of historical or Americana art.
