The Thankful Children,
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Ethel Parkinson, 1909 In this charming and quaint black-and-white photograph, two young children, dressed in their Sunday best, stand nervously in a farmyard, facing a massive turkey. The children, with wide eyes and tentative expressions, seem to be contemplating their next move. The turkey, with its vibrant, iridescent feathers and proud posture, gazes back at them with a curious and slightly amused expression. The scene is reminiscent of the harvest season, a time of gratitude and abundance. The children, likely preparing for a Thanksgiving feast, are shown in a moment of anticipation and apprehension as they approach the large bird. The artist, Ethel Parkinson, masterfully captures the essence of this transitional moment, where the children's excitement and trepidation are palpable. The photograph, taken in 1909, is a beautiful representation of the bond between children and nature. The children's connection to the land and the animals that provide for them is evident, as they respectfully and carefully approach the turkey. The farmyard setting, with its rustic charm and simple beauty, serves as a reminder of a simpler time in history. Ethel Parkinson, a talented British artist, expertly uses light and shadow to create depth and texture in her photograph. The contrast between the children's delicate features and the towering turkey adds to the visual interest and intrigue of the image. This photograph is a timeless treasure, capturing a moment in history and evoking feelings of nostalgia and warmth.
