EDITORS COMMENTS
Girls & Dogs at Bedtime, 1889 This charming photograph captures a moment of playful defiance as four little girls in a Victorian-era nursery resist the call of slumber, preferring instead to spend their bedtime hours with their beloved pets. The girls, dressed in frilly nightgowns and bonnets, sit on the floor surrounded by toys and books, while their two dogs, a collie and a pug, join them in their mischievous antics. The collie, with its expressive eyes and pointed ears, gazes intently at the girls, as if urging them to continue their games. The pug, with its wrinkled face and curled tail, looks up at the camera with a mischievous grin. The scene is bathed in a warm, golden light, casting long shadows across the room and adding to the cozy, inviting atmosphere. The girls' bed, with its ornate headboard and floral bedspread, stands in the background, a reminder of the domesticity and comfort of the nursery. The photograph, taken in 1889, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when children's bedtime rituals were less rigid and more playful. The bond between children and their pets is a timeless one, and this photograph beautifully captures the joy and companionship that pets bring to our lives, even during the most mundane moments, such as bedtime. The girls' playful disregard for the rules of bedtime adds a touch of whimsy and nostalgia to this delightful image.
