EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph, titled 'Boys Scrumping' and dating back to circa 1880, captures a moment of innocent mischief and sibling rivalry in the heart of an orchard. Two boys, dressed in simple clothing typical of the era, work together to knock ripe apples from a tree using a long pole. The elder boy, with a determined expression on his face, wields the pole with skill and focus, while the younger boy, eagerly anticipating the harvest, stands below with a basket, ready to collect the fruit. However, the scene is not without a sense of unease. A little girl, dressed in a frilly dress and with a disapproving look on her face, watches the boys from a distance. Her arms are folded, and her expression suggests that she is not convinced of the legality of their actions. The boys' mischievous grins and the girl's disapproval add an element of intrigue and suspense to the image. The historical context of this photograph adds depth to the scene. Scrumping, or the act of illegally picking fruit from another person's property, was a common practice during this time period, particularly in rural communities. The boys' behavior, while playful and harmless, may have been met with disapproval or even chastisement from the landowner or those who held the rights to the fruit. This photograph is a delightful reminder of a simpler time, when children spent their days exploring the natural world around them and finding joy in the simple pleasures of life. The image also serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the customs and traditions of a bygone era.
