EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in July 1915 by William Davis Hassler, captures a moment frozen in time. In this image from the collection of the New-York Historical Society, two unidentified boys strike a pose as they aim their pistols with determined expressions on their faces. The innocence of childhood merges with an air of mischief as these young boys engage in playful make-believe. The composition draws us into their world, where imagination reigns supreme and adventure awaits at every corner. Their intertwined fingers on the triggers reveal a sense of camaraderie and shared excitement. Photography during the early 20th century was still relatively new, making this snapshot all the more remarkable. It offers us a glimpse into American life at that time - a period marked by rapid industrialization and social change. While it is important to acknowledge that this image reflects different attitudes towards guns compared to our present-day perspective, it also serves as a reminder of how much society has evolved over the years. This photograph invites contemplation about our relationship with firearms and raises questions about how we educate children regarding gun safety today. As we gaze upon these two young boys aiming their pistols against an indeterminate backdrop, we are left to ponder not only their identities but also what lies beyond this single captured moment in history.
