EDITORS COMMENTS
A Smartly-Dressed Girl with a Basket of Cherries and a Parrot, c. 1875 This photograph, taken circa 1875, depicts a young girl in a smartly-dressed outfit, holding a woven basket brimming with luscious cherries. The girl's expression is playful and curious as she gazes at a colorful parrot perched on her other arm. The parrot, with its vibrant plumage and beady eyes, seems to return her gaze with equal interest. The photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the late 19th century. The girl's elegant attire, with its high collar, long sleeves, and full skirt, is typical of the fashionable clothing worn by middle-class children during this era. The use of natural props, such as the basket of cherries and the parrot, adds to the authenticity of the image and highlights the connection between children and nature during this period. The inclusion of the parrot, a popular exotic pet during the Victorian era, further underscores the theme of exploration and discovery that characterized the late 19th century. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the close relationship between children and animals, a bond that continues to endure to this day. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, offering insights into the lives of children during the late 1800s. It invites us to reflect on the simple pleasures of childhood and the enduring allure of nature.
