EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a boarding house dinner in the early 1900s. The image transports us back in time to an era of simple pleasures and communal living. The long table, laden with dishes, stretches out before us, inviting us to take a seat and join the residents for their evening meal. The air in the room is filled with the aroma of hearty, home-cooked food, as the residents gather around the table, each one adorned with a pristine white napkin. The table setting is sparse yet elegant, with simple china plates, silverware, and glassware, all arranged neatly in their places. At the head of the table, a bell sits at the ready, signaling the start and end of the meal. The residents, dressed in their Sunday best, engage in animated conversation, their faces reflecting the joy and camaraderie of shared meals. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the perfect antidote to the harsh realities of life outside the boarding house walls. The residents, bound by their shared living arrangements, have formed a community, and mealtimes are an opportunity to come together, to connect, and to enjoy each other's company. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a moment frozen in time, and serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and joys of communal living. The boarding house dinner, with its warm, inviting atmosphere and the promise of a delicious meal, continues to be a source of comfort and connection, even a century later.
