EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Kitchen Clock,' was captured by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing between 1910 and 1920 in the United States. The image presents an enchanting tableau of children dressed as kitchen utensils, adding a whimsical touch to the ordinary kitchen setting. The photograph features a group of girls, each dressed as a different kitchen item. The eldest girl, dressed as a clock, stands proudly in the center, her arms outstretched to represent the clock's hands. A young girl, dressed as a teapot, pours water into a kettle held by another child, while a third girl, dressed as a feather duster, sweeps the floor. A fourth child, dressed as a lid, sits atop a radiator, and a fifth child, dressed as a teapot's spout, pours tea into a cup held by a sixth girl, who is dressed as a teacup. The children's costumes are made of cardboard and other materials, adding to the playful and imaginative nature of the photograph. The girls' clothing, reminiscent of the early 1900s, adds to the overall vintage feel of the image. The photograph's title, 'The Kitchen Clock,' suggests a sense of time passing, as if the children are frozen in a moment, bringing a touch of drama to the otherwise mundane kitchen setting. This photograph is a delightful example of the concept of tableau photography, which was popular during the early 20th century. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on childhood, fashion, and the role of photography in capturing and preserving moments in time.
