"Reminiscences of 1865-1897" is a still life painting by the American trompe-l'œil (deceive the eye) painter John Frederick Peto (1854–1907). Created in the late 19th century, this work exemplifies Peto's meticulous attention to detail and his fascination with the aesthetic of the ordinary and the ephemeral. The painting is a visual memoir that captures the essence of the period through a collection of objects that evoke personal and historical narratives.

In "Reminiscences of 1865-1897," Peto arranges a variety of items against a backdrop that suggests a worn wooden surface, a motif common in his work. The objects depicted include books, photographs, letters, and possibly memorabilia, each carefully positioned to create a sense of depth and realism. The title of the painting suggests a reflective journey through the three decades following the end of the American Civil War, a time of significant change and development in the United States.

Peto's work is often compared to that of his contemporary William Harnett, another master of trompe-l'œil painting. However, Peto's compositions are typically more personal and less formal than Harnett's, often imbued with a sense of nostalgia and a poignant, sometimes melancholic, reflection on the passage of time.

As an artist, John Frederick Peto remains a significant figure in American art history, known for his quiet yet powerful celebrations of everyday objects. "Reminiscences of 1865-1897" is a testament to his skill in creating complex visual narratives that invite viewers to ponder the stories behind the depicted artifacts. The painting is an important example of Peto's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the trompe-l'œil genre in American art at the turn of the century.
