Afraid Birthdays Scared Silhouettes
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming early 20th century photograph, a young child, dressed in a frilly white dress and holding a deck of birthday party games in her hands, stands apprehensively on a wooden chair. Her expression is one of trepidation as she gazes down at a curious and alert dog that sits just below her, its ears perked up and eyes fixed on the child. The silhouette of the child and the dog against the soft, warm glow of the background creates a striking contrast, adding to the intrigue of the scene. The custom of children standing on chairs during their birthdays to blow out the candles on their cakes is a beloved tradition that has stood the test of time. However, this photograph captures a moment of fear and uncertainty that may be familiar to many children, as they face their anxieties and phobias, even on the happiest of occasions. The presence of a dog in the scene adds an extra layer of excitement and potential danger, as the child must overcome her fear to safely blow out the candles and make a wish. This silhouette photograph, with its timeless subject matter and beautiful composition, is a testament to the enduring customs and traditions of childhood. It invites us to reflect on the universal experiences of fear and courage, and the ways in which we face our challenges, both big and small, with determination and grace. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a delightful reminder of the simple joys and fears of childhood, captured in a moment frozen in time.
