1879 Brother Feather Greenaway Hoop Kate Siblings Sister Stick Straw
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting Victorian-era photograph captures the playful bond between a sister and her brother as they stroll hand in hand, each holding a hoop and a long stick. Dressed in their finest winter attire, the sister dons a fashionable hat adorned with a feather, while her brother wears a simple straw hat and a coat. The sun casts a warm glow through the window of their quaint home, adding a sense of comfort and familiarity to the scene. The hoops and sticks were a popular pastime for children during the 1870s, providing hours of entertainment and exercise. The siblings' focus is on their game, their faces filled with joy and concentration. The simple pleasure of their shared activity brings them closer together, creating a moment of pure happiness and connection. This charming image is a beautiful representation of the strong bond between siblings, a bond that transcends time and remains a constant source of comfort and love. The photograph is a delightful glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time when the joys of childhood were found in the simplest of things. This photograph is an original illustration from the book "Under the Window" by Kate Greenaway, first published in 1879. Greenaway was a renowned English illustrator, known for her whimsical and detailed illustrations that captured the essence of childhood and the natural world. This image is a testament to her artistic talent and her ability to capture the innocence and joy of childhood.
