EDITORS COMMENTS
In this gelatin silver photo titled "Please be seated" taken between 1905-1918 by Jessie Tarbox Beals, we are transported back in time to witness the art of correct poise and posture. The image showcases a model adorned with a large hat embellished with feathers, exuding elegance and grace. With her body leaning slightly forward and one arm extended behind her, she gestures towards an empty chair, inviting us to take our place. Every detail is meticulously captured - from the perfect alignment of her legs to the positioning of her arms and hands. It serves as a visual guide for achieving proper posture during that era. This photograph not only captures fashion photography at its finest but also emphasizes the importance placed on maintaining good posture during this period. It reflects society's desire for refinement and sophistication in every aspect of life, including how one carries themselves. The collection of the New-York Historical Society proudly houses this remarkable piece by Beals, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. As we gaze upon this timeless image, it reminds us that even in stillness, there is beauty in correct poise – a testament to the enduring power of photography as an art form.
