The Late Riser
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful and humorous stereoscopic card that captures the essence of a lazy morning in the early 1900s. This sepia-toned print by William Herman Rau showcases two young women, each with their own unique morning routine. In this charming scene, one woman can be seen gazing at herself in the mirror, seemingly lost in her own reflection. Her expression suggests a mix of vanity and curiosity as she takes time to admire her appearance before starting her day. Meanwhile, her companion stretches lazily in bed, clearly not quite ready to face the world just yet. The stereoscopic card format adds an extra layer of depth to this image, allowing viewers to experience it as if they were right there in the room with these ladies. It was a popular form of entertainment during its time, providing people with an immersive visual experience long before virtual reality came into existence. This snapshot from the belle epoque era offers us a glimpse into daily life and highlights the humor found even in mundane moments. From petticoats and nighties to mirrors and stretching poses, every detail contributes to creating a whimsical atmosphere that will surely bring smiles to anyone who encounters this vintage gem.
