EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Anita Chartres, an English author known as Annie Vivanti, sitting gracefully at a player piano in 1898. The silver gelatin print showcases her elegance and poise as she engages with the musical instrument. The photo was taken by the renowned Byron Company, which flourished between 1890 and 1942. The composition of the image is striking, with Anita seated amidst a music room adorned with statues and guitars. The window behind her allows soft light to filter through, casting a gentle glow on her figure. Her surroundings reflect her artistic nature as a writer, creating an atmosphere that exudes creativity. Anita's connection to literature is further emphasized by the presence of books scattered on nearby furniture. This intimate glimpse into her personal space offers insight into both her passion for writing and love for music. The pianola or autopiano stands tall beside Anita, hinting at the harmonious melodies that can be produced effortlessly through its mechanical workings. It serves as a testament to technological advancements during this period. Preserved within the Museum of the City of New York's collection, this timeless photograph evokes nostalgia while celebrating Anita Chartres' multifaceted talents as both a writer and musician. Through Bridgeman Images' reproduction of this historical gem, viewers are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment frozen forever in monochrome beauty.
