Bare Child Hood Feet Flora Horticulture Lemonade Malby Poor Poverty Reginald Smock
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative Edwardian photograph captures the innocence and simplicity of childhood during a bygone era. The image features a group of children huddled outside a shop, their curious expressions fixed on the colorful advertisement displayed in the window. The shop, adorned with intricate floral designs and horticultural motifs, sells Regal Lemonade, a popular beverage of the time. Among the children, one boy stands out with his bare feet, a clear indication of poverty and the harsh realities of life for many working-class families during the early 1900s. The girls, dressed in smocks and ribbons, contrast sharply with the boys in their rough and tumble attire. The pavement before them is littered with debris, further emphasizing the stark contrast between the affluent and the impoverished classes. The advertisement itself, with its vibrant flowers and intricate details, serves as a reminder of the importance of advertising in the Edwardian era. The use of flora and fauna in the design was a common trend in horticultural advertising, reflecting the growing popularity of gardens and gardening during this time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler, and childhood was filled with wonder and curiosity. It serves as a poignant reminder of the historical context of the Edwardian era and the stark class divide that existed during that time.
