A Hasty Lunch: A Moment of Relaxation and Joy in Early 20th Century America (circa 1900-1905) This photograph, titled "A Hasty Lunch," offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time in American history. The image, created by an unknown photographer, captures a family of four enjoying a quick meal on the sandy shores of an unidentified coastal location in the United States. The scene is filled with the essence of leisure and enjoyment. The mother, dressed in a long, flowing, high-necked dress, sits on a blanket spread over the sand, her gaze directly at the camera, inviting us into their moment. Her husband, wearing a suit and hat, stands behind her, leaning over to share a moment with their two young daughters. The girls, dressed in frilly dresses, sit on the blanket, one reaching for a sandwich in the picnic basket, while the other gazes out at the sea. The background is filled with other holidaymakers, all dressed in the fashion of the time, enjoying their own moments of relaxation and recreation. The sea and coastline provide a beautiful backdrop, adding to the idyllic setting. This photograph, taken as a dry plate negative glass measuring 65 x 85 inches, is a testament to the past, a reminder of the simple pleasures and joys of a bygone era. It is a treasure from the Library of Congress, a valuable piece of American heritage art that transports us back in time, allowing us to experience a moment of history through the lens of an unknown photographer.
