The old clock on the stairs by Taylor, William Ladd, 1854-1926
I love how the title focuses on the clock you can barely see and not the ghost wedding party right in front of it.
This is like titling the Mona Lisa âA River and Some Hillsâ or The Last Supper âA Long-Ass Tableâ.
My interpretation of it is: the artist could only see the stairs and the old clock (for ghosts are mostly invisible) and only after the paiting was done did he see what else he managed to capture on canva. You know, like an old photograph… Hence the title. He did not see the ghosts at first.
do you ever see someoneâs comment about a film/tv show you watch or a book youâve read and wonder if maybe we all truly live in different realities and the internet is the only commonly shared space which doesnât change across universes, because it isnât fucking possible to draw such dumbass conclusions about a thing unless weâve seen/read different versions of it
