EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph, titled 'Game / Touch Wood' and dated 1889, captures a delightful moment in the lives of a group of children as they engage in a classic game of 'Touch Wood.' The children, dressed in their Sunday best, gather around a wooden fence and a cluster of trees, their faces filled with excitement and concentration. The rules of the game are simple: each child taps the wood and makes a wish while saying 'touch wood' to ensure good luck and prevent any jinxes. The historical context of this image is intriguing. The late 19th century was a time of rapid industrialization and urbanization, and the outdoors served as an essential refuge for children. Games like 'Touch Wood' were a way for children to connect with nature and each other, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie. The use of natural elements in the game, such as the trees and the fence, highlights the importance of nature in children's lives during this period. The wooden fence and trees in the background also serve as a reminder of the role that nature played in shaping the built environment of the time. The fence, with its intricate design and weathered appearance, speaks to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was valued in the construction of rural structures. The trees, with their lush foliage and vibrant colors, provide a stark contrast to the monochromatic palette of the children's clothing and add a sense of vitality and life to the scene. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful snapshot of a moment in history, showcasing the simple joys of childhood and the enduring connection between nature and human beings.
