EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from 1886, a fashionable young gentleman from Cincinnati, Ohio, finds himself the unfortunate victim of a daring thief. The image captures the moment of discovery as the man looks shocked and dismayed, his hand reaching out to touch the empty space on his wrist where his prized watch once rested. The audacious thief, dressed in a dark coat and hat, can be seen in the background, making a hasty escape. The reaction of the two women in the scene is particularly noteworthy. One woman, with a concerned expression, places a comforting hand on the man's shoulder, while the other, with a look of amusement, appears to be more interested in the events unfolding than in offering assistance. The caption, "Two Silly Girls," suggests that the paper took the view that the gentleman should have confronted the criminal and collared him on the spot. The incident highlights the challenges of urban life in late 19th-century America, where crime was a growing concern for many citizens. It also raises questions about the role of bystanders in the face of criminal activity and the societal expectations of men to protect themselves and their property. Despite the cowardice of the two women, the photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and courage in the face of adversity.
