New Year's Greetings From the Merrymount Press 1926 - 1937

Editor: This is Rudolph Ruzicka's "New Year's Greetings From the Merrymount Press." It feels like a stage set. What symbols do you see in it? Curator: Note how the house is framed by trees, almost guarded. Trees are potent symbols, linking heaven and earth, suggesting both growth and protection. The house itself, Siste Viator, translates to "Sister Traveler" or "Sister Wayfarer" – an invitation to rest, to pause. Is this a safe haven? A place of transition? What do you think? Editor: It's interesting to think of it as a crossroads rather than just a home. Thanks for sharing that perspective. Curator: It is fascinating how a simple image can hold such layers of meaning. Visual language shapes how we perceive the world.
