1884 Apple Chores Cooking Hinder Pastry Rolling Rolls
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph, titled 'Children Helping (or Rather Hindering) Their Mother as She Rolls Out the Pastry for an Apple Pie' (C1884), captures a moment of domestic bliss and the joys and challenges of childhood in the late 19th century. The image, taken by an unknown photographer and published by Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts two young girls eagerly assisting their mother in the preparation of an apple pie. The mother, dressed in a long, flowing apron and a simple, high-necked blouse, focuses intently on the task at hand, her brow furrowed in concentration as she rolls out the pastry on a wooden table. Her daughters, dressed in matching pinafore dresses and bonnets, seem more interested in each other than the pastry, their mischievous grins and playful antics hinting at the distractions that often accompany young children. The scene is one of simple, everyday life in the late 1800s, a time when the duties of the home were shared among family members, and children were expected to learn the art of cooking and other household chores from a young age. The girls' eagerness to help, while perhaps not entirely focused on the task at hand, is a testament to the importance of family and the bonds that were formed through shared experiences. The photograph is a beautiful reminder of the past, and the simple pleasures and challenges of daily life. The rolling pin, the wooden table, and the girls' bonnets and pinafores all add to the historical context of the image, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. This photograph is not only a delightful snapshot of family life, but also a fascinating glimpse into the history of cooking and the role of children in the home.
