EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment of pure joy and innocence as Princesses Astrid and Ragnhild of Norway engage in play with their intricately detailed toy train set. The scene is set in the late 1930s, and the sisters, dressed in elegant dresses and matching bonnets, appear to be completely absorbed in the world of make-believe that their model railway has created for them. The toy train set, with its meticulously crafted tracks and miniature locomotives, is a testament to the girls' imagination and love for adventure. The historical significance of this image lies not only in the royal lineage of the subjects but also in the context of the time. The 1930s were a period of great change and upheaval in Europe, with the looming threat of war on the horizon. Yet, in this photograph, we are reminded of the simple pleasures and innocence of childhood, untouched by the turmoil of the world around them. The toy train set, a popular pastime for children during this era, was a symbol of escapism and imagination. It allowed children to create their own worlds and stories, providing a sense of control and autonomy in an uncertain world. The sisters' connection to this toy set serves as a reminder of the power of play and the importance of cherishing moments of joy and wonder, no matter the circumstances. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a precious snapshot of history, capturing a fleeting moment in time that has stood the test of decades. It is a reminder of the enduring power of childhood, the magic of play, and the importance of holding on to the simple joys of life.
