1860 C1860 Kitchen Rabbit Rabbits Supper Taking Wrapped
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print from the Mary Evans Picture Library captures a scene from around 1860 of two children with their pet rabbits. The image raises an intriguing question - why does the boy have his rabbit wrapped up in a pillowcase? Is he perhaps taking it to the kitchen for supper?
The historical context of this photograph adds depth to the narrative, offering a glimpse into domestic life in the mid-19th century. It was not uncommon for families to keep rabbits as pets or even as a source of food during this time period.
The innocence and curiosity of the children is evident in their expressions as they interact with their furry companions. The warmth and affection between humans and animals transcends time, making this image both nostalgic and timeless.
As we ponder over the boy's intentions with his rabbit wrapped up so carefully, we are reminded of how our relationships with animals have evolved over centuries. This snapshot frozen in time serves as a reminder of simpler days gone by, where pets were cherished members of the family.
Mary Evans Prints Online has preserved this precious moment for us to enjoy and reflect upon, connecting us to our past through images that speak volumes about human nature and our enduring bond with animals.
