EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the glamorous world of the Metropolitan Opera House in 1894. After a night filled with enchanting performances, we find ourselves in the Box-Holders Lobby, where members of New York's elite society eagerly await their carriages. The grandeur of this era is beautifully illustrated by Thure de Thulstrup, capturing every detail from the opulent interior to the exquisite fashion choices. The image showcases a bustling scene as elegantly dressed men and women mingle amidst an atmosphere of anticipation. Women donning gowns adorned with ermine capes exude sophistication and grace, while men sporting top hats epitomize upper-class refinement. The late 19th century was known as the Gilded Age, a time when wealth and luxury were at their peak, evident in this depiction. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes clear that attending the opera was not just about enjoying beautiful music but also about being seen among high society. This photograph transports us to a bygone era where culture and social status intertwined seamlessly. Thulstrup's illustration serves as a window into an exclusive world reserved for those fortunate enough to be part of it. It reminds us of the power that art has to transport us across centuries and immerse us in different cultures and lifestyles.
