Sewing By The Fire - Studio # Unknown

A very similar picture is A Bit of Sewing, #173.

This photograph was made in Wallace Nutting's Southbury, CT home he called "Nuttinghame". When he sold this house in 1912, the retired banker who had already made a deposit and was assured that he 'owned' the house said, "I don't mind telling you that wild horses could not have pulled me out of this room."

This room was used as a backdrop more often than any other. I know of at least twenty-two other titles that were photographed in this room alone. They are:

17th Century, #10 Christmas Jelly, #52
A Plate of Goodies, #67 The Cup That Cheers, #72
A Bit of Sewing, #173 Comfort and A Cat, #545
A Sip of Tea, #551 Bean Porridge Hot, #591
Thanksgiving Goodies, #595 The Tea Maid, #602
Mending, #677 Maiden Reveries, #681
An Afternoon Tea, #703 Confidences, #704
Prudence Drawing Tea, #707 The Maple Sugar Cuppard, #734
The Home Room, #745 An Elaborate Dinner, #746
The Window Garden, 771 A Dilatory Escort, #772
The Work Basket, #2736 Clarinda at Home
