Supper Table -- How We Entertain Our Friends
EDITORS COMMENTS
(1885) presents an enchanting scene of a late Victorian evening, where the simple joys of home-cooked food and warm companionship come together in a sumptuous display of hospitality. The photograph captures a beautifully set table, adorned with an elegant red and gold tablecloth, atop a plush red carpet. The table is laden with an array of dishes, plates, and bowls, brimming with an assortment of savory and sweet delights. The centerpiece of the table is a grand epergne, overflowing with an assortment of fruits, jellies, and pastries. Delicate pastry puffs, sandwiches, and savory galantine, veal, and oyster patties are artfully arranged on plates and platters. A russe, or ice bucket, keeps the beverages cool, while a basket of fresh flowers adds a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The girls in the photograph, dressed in their finest, prepare to serve their guests with grace and poise. The atmosphere is one of warmth and conviviality, as friends gather around the table to enjoy a hearty meal and each other's company. The table setting is a testament to the simple yet effective ways in which the Victorians entertained their guests, creating memories that lasted long after the meal was finished. The photograph, with its intricate details and rich colors, invites us to take a step back in time and appreciate the art of entertaining in a more modest era. From the intricately designed dishes and tablecloth to the delectable spread of food, every detail speaks to the care and attention given to creating a memorable evening for friends and loved ones.
