A Picture with Words: Chloe Preston's Studious Crossword Pursuit in the 1920s This charming black-and-white photograph captures the introspective and focused gaze of a young girl named Chloe Preston as she immerses herself in the world of crosswords. The image, published during the height of crossword puzzles' popularity in the 1920s, showcases Chloe's dedication to her hobby, surrounded by an impressive collection of dictionaries and donning a crossword-themed dress. The studious little girl, with her spectacles perched precariously on the bridge of her nose, is a testament to the intellectual curiosity and enthusiasm that fueled the crossword craze during this era.
