EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving from 1875 showcases the exquisite Newport Cottage, belonging to renowned actress Charlotte Saunders Cushman. Nestled in the picturesque town of Newport, Rhode Island, this architectural gem stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Gilded Age. The cottage's exterior exudes elegance and charm with its intricate details and impeccable craftsmanship. Its stately presence commands attention while blending harmoniously with the natural beauty of its surroundings. The North American style architecture reflects a sense of refined taste prevalent among the upper class during that era. Beyond its architectural splendor, this historic residence holds an intriguing story within its walls. Charlotte Saunders Cushman, a celebrated actress known for her remarkable talent on stage, called this enchanting cottage her home. Her artistic prowess captivated audiences across America, making her one of the most prominent figures in theater at that time. However, it is worth noting that Cushman's personal life also made headlines due to her unconventional relationships. As an openly lesbian woman in a society bound by strict norms and expectations, she defied conventions and lived authentically—a true trailblazer ahead of her time. Through this wood engraving captured over a century ago by The Granger Collection, we are transported back to witness not only an architectural marvel but also glimpse into the life of an extraordinary woman who left an indelible mark on both American theater and society as a whole.
