1885 Caps Practice Practise Games
EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in an enchanting moment of playful innocence, this photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, dated 1885, depicts three little girls in Victorian-era attire, engaging in a classic childhood game of Tip-A-Toe. Dressed in frilly dresses and adorned with flowery caps, Chloe, Prue, and the unnamed third girl, practice their balance and agility as they tip-toe in unison, their rosy cheeks reflecting the joy and excitement of the game. Tip-A-Toe, also known as "Tipcat" or "Tip-the-Can," was a popular game during the 1800s. The objective was to tap a raised object, such as a can or a wooden block, with a flat object, like a stone or a wooden paddle, without the raised object touching the ground. The girls in the photograph appear to be practicing this game, preparing for a friendly competition or simply enjoying the simple pleasure of playing together. The vintage setting of the image adds an air of nostalgia and charm, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and children's games were a source of endless entertainment. The girls' playful expressions and their synchronized tip-toeing motion convey a sense of unity and camaraderie, reminding us of the importance of cherishing these precious moments of childhood and the memories they create.
