EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of quiet reflection and camaraderie between two influential figures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries: naturalist John Burroughs and photographer Jessie Tarbox Beals. Taken in 1908 at Burroughs' summer cabin, Slabsides, in West Park, New York, the image finds the pair seated on the porch, engrossed in conversation or deep thought. John Burroughs (1837-1921), a celebrated American naturalist and author, was a leading figure in the American conservation movement. Known as the "Linnaeus of the Catskills," Burroughs wrote over 40 books on nature, many of which were inspired by his experiences in the woods and fields of upstate New York. Jessie Tarbox Beals (1870-1942), on the other hand, was a pioneering American photographer, best known for her portraits of African Americans and Native Americans. Her work challenged racial stereotypes and paved the way for greater representation and recognition in photography. The photograph offers a glimpse into the friendship between these two remarkable individuals, who, despite their different areas of expertise, shared a deep appreciation for the natural world. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the beauty and wonder of nature, a cause that both Burroughs and Beals championed throughout their lives.
