EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1920 captures a moment in time when a young girl, on her own, is engrossed in playing her phonograph. The image exudes a sense of independence and curiosity as the girl appears completely absorbed in the music emanating from the gramophone.
The title "BOY WANTED" adds an intriguing element to the scene, leaving viewers to wonder about the significance behind it. Perhaps it suggests that despite being alone, the girl longs for companionship or someone to share her love of music with. Or maybe it reflects societal norms of the time, where boys were typically seen as more technologically savvy or interested in gadgets like phonographs.
Regardless of its deeper meaning, this historical photograph offers a glimpse into everyday life nearly a century ago. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when entertainment was found in simple pleasures like listening to records on a phonograph.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this charming snapshot of history, allowing us to appreciate and reflect on how much has changed since then. Yet at its core, the joy and fascination captured in this image remain timeless and universal.
