1. Title: A Perky and Cheeky Tradition: A Girl Riding an Oversized Easter Egg in 1918 This photograph, taken in 1918, showcases an intriguing and playful Easter tradition. A young girl, dressed in a pale pink, lightly silky underslip, adorned with delicate lace and ribbons, sits atop a large, green Easter egg as if it were a horse. Her perky, rosy-cheeked face is framed by a pink hat, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The oversized Easter egg, custom-made for this amusing tradition, is decorated with intricate ribbons, bows, and flowers. The girl holds onto the egg's edges with one hand, while the other hand clutches a pair of suspenders, which are attached to a pair of stockings. For added stability, she wears a pair of skimpy, pink underslips as reins. The historical context of this photograph reveals that such traditions, though unconventional by today's standards, were once popular ways to celebrate Easter. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder, inviting us to ponder the unique customs and traditions that have shaped our collective history. The girl's skimpy underwear, a common fashion choice during the early 20th century, was often worn as outerwear for playful activities. The combination of the girl's pink lingerie, the large, decorated Easter egg, and the playful setting, creates a delightful and charming snapshot of a bygone era. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the importance of preserving historical traditions and the joy they bring to our lives.
