One Vogue editor finds serenity and mystery in a photograph from the 1947 issue of Vogue.

Usually the first Monday in May is a butterflies-in-the-stomach day as the anticipation for the party of the year swells to a fever pitch. An event tailor-made for extroverts and peacocks, it’s also wonderful theater. This year a sort of open invitation has gone out, so depending on your mood, it’s time to channel your inner Cinderella and dress for the ball, or grab a front-row seat.
It occurs to me that more than half of Cinderella’s well-known tale isn’t about the actual ball at all. The story is about longing—for romance and for justice, each close but out of reach—and that’s why it is gripping. Now, when the abundance of spring is juxtaposed with a dark reality, it is the sweet melancholy of daydream believers that catches my attention. The imagination opens doors to places that are out of time.
I’ve always admired the model in Richard Rutledge’s 1947 photograph, “Ten Down: One Across” for being rapt by the task at hand, a crossword . The serenity of this image is compelling; in style and composition, it might be linked to the late 19th-century paintings of James McNeill Whistler, who loved a lady in deshabille. These days are also all about at-home wear, but on the more dressed-down end of the spectrum.
“Ten Down: One Across,” photographed by Richard Rutledge, was published in the October 1, 1947, issue of the magazine.
