Horseback Dinner Sherrys Restaurant 1903 Byron Postcard NYC Fotofolio B5 Museum
📸 DESCRIPTION:
This vintage art postcard features a remarkable and surreal 1903 photograph titled \"Horseback Dinner at Sherry’s Restaurant, New York\", captured by famed photographer Byron. Issued by Fotofolio in collaboration with the Museum of the City of New York, this reprint comes from the Byron Collection and is part of Fotofolio’s numbered B-series (B5).
The sepia-toned image depicts an extraordinary Gilded Age dinner party where men in formal attire are seated on horseback at dining tables inside a lavish indoor setting. With lush palm plants, period décor, and carefully arranged staging, the scene is both humorous and emblematic of the excesses of high society in early 20th-century New York.
A true piece of New York City’s eccentric social history, this unposted postcard is ideal for collectors of historic restaurant ephemera, Edwardian photography, and NYC cultural oddities.
