A Little Girl Called Ursula: A Delightful Depiction of Childhood and Nursery Rhyme Characters at the Mansion House Ball in 1912 This photograph, dated 1912, presents a young girl named Ursula, elegantly dressed in a fancy outfit inspired by the beloved nursery rhyme character, Little Bo Peep. The Mansion House Ball, an annual event hosted by the Lord Mayor of London, was a grand affair where children from affluent families showcased their finest attire. Ursula's ensemble, with its pristine white dress adorned with intricate floral patterns and a delicate blue sash, perfectly embodies the spirit of Little Bo Peep. Her curly blonde hair is neatly styled, and her cherubic cheeks are rosy with the excitement of the evening. The photograph captures the essence of childhood innocence and the enchantment of nursery rhymes, as Ursula playfully holds a crook, a nod to the shepherd's staff carried by the original character. The Mansion House Ball was an opportunity for children to experience the elegance and grandeur of high society, while also allowing them to express their creativity through their costumes. This photograph is a delightful reminder of a bygone era, where children's imaginations were fueled by nursery rhymes and the magic of fancy dress.
