Attic Burnett Crewe Isolated Money Sara Schooling Shadow Shadows
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the moment when the once privileged and beloved Sara Crewe, the protagonist of Frances Hodgson Burnett's timeless novel "A Little Princess" (1905), is forced to leave her school and ascend to the isolated attic of Miss Minchin's boarding school. The little girl, dressed in a simple, worn dress, stands in the dimly lit attic, her shadow stretching long and dark on the wall behind her. The room is sparse, with only a few meager belongings and a small collection of books, her only companions in her new life of hardship. Sara Crewe, who had once been known as "Princess Sara" due to her wealthy father's lavish gifts and generous allowance, now finds herself in a stark contrast to her former life of luxury. The historical context of this image, set in the early 20th century, adds a layer of authenticity to the scene, as the shadows cast by the limited light sources and the worn, vintage attire of the young girl transport us back in time. Despite the grim circumstances, Sara's spirit remains unbroken, as evidenced by the determined look in her eyes and the books clutched tightly in her hands. The power of imagination and the transformative effect of literature become her saving grace, allowing her to escape the harsh realities of her current situation and maintain her belief in the magic and wonder of the world. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of imagination to transcend even the most difficult of circumstances.
