Morristown
1898
Ernest Peixotto captured this quiet winter scene in Morristown, New Jersey, during a chilly January day in 1898. The large, colonial-style house sits nestled among tall, bare trees, their spindly branches reaching up like skeletal fingers against the sky. Using quick, scratchy ink lines, Peixotto suggests the texture of the frosty lawn and the winding path leading up to the home, giving the whole scene a crisp, cold feel. It feels like a snapshot of a peaceful afternoon stroll, freezing a moment in time just before the turn of the century.
