EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph, titled "Children on a Rocking Horse," captures the innocence and joy of two young girls as they take turns riding a classic rocking toy horse. The scene, painted by British artist Phyllis Cooper in 1933, transports us back in time to a simpler era. The girls, dressed in fashionable 1920s attire, hold tight to a tin of Ovaltine, a popular chocolate malt drink that was a staple in many British households during this period. The addition of the Ovaltine tin adds an intriguing layer to the image, suggesting that this moment of playful fun might be part of a daily routine or a special treat. The girls' expressions of delight and concentration as they ride the horse convey the pure joy and excitement that comes with childhood. The use of warm, muted colors and soft lighting further enhances the nostalgic and timeless feel of the painting. This image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the simple pleasures and enduring memories of childhood.
