EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from 1887, a gentleman tenderly holds a shawl out to a lady as they stand together at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. The soft glow of the gas lamps casts a warm light over the scene, creating an intimate and romantic atmosphere. The gentleman's attentive gesture speaks to the customs and etiquette of the time, where men were expected to protect and care for women's comfort and wellbeing. The lady, bundled up against the cold, gratefully accepts the shawl, her expression one of appreciation and contentment. The black-and-white photograph captures a moment of connection and companionship between two people as they welcome in a new year together. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when simple gestures of kindness and consideration held great significance.
