EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century titled "Etiquette of the picnic, A lunch in the woods" transports us to a bygone era where society's rules and manners were held in high regard. The black and white illustration showcases a group of well-dressed individuals enjoying a meal amidst the serene beauty of a pine forest. The scene depicts an idyllic picnic setting, with tables adorned with fine china, silverware, and delicacies carefully arranged for consumption. Each person is engaged in polite conversation while maintaining proper posture and decorum. It serves as a visual representation of social norms during that time period. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical surroundings but also emphasizes the importance placed on etiquette within this particular social gathering. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for James D McCabe's book "The National Encyclopaedia of Business and Social Forms" further highlighting its relevance to societal expectations at that time. Through this image, we are reminded of how customs evolve over time yet remain integral to our understanding of history. It offers us a glimpse into an era when picnics were more than just casual outdoor meals; they were occasions for refinement and adherence to established codes of conduct. As we admire this print, we can appreciate both its artistic merit and its ability to transport us back in time to witness these long-forgotten traditions.
