A Trying Moment: A Young Girl's Determination against a Tenacious White Terrier, by Ethel Parkinson (1911) This image, titled "A Trying Moment," depicts a young girl in a determined struggle against a white terrier that has seized her golly in its jaws. The photograph, taken by the renowned British artist Ethel Parkinson in 1911, captures a moment of pure emotion and tenacity. The young girl, dressed in a simple white blouse and skirt, is shown with her back towards the camera, her arms outstretched, and her entire focus on the terrier before her. Her expression is one of intense concentration, as she wrestles to free her cherished golly from the dog's grasp. The terrier, on the other hand, is portrayed with equal intensity, its teeth clenched around the golly, and its eyes fixed on the prize. The contrast between the girl's delicate features and the terrier's fierce determination creates a striking visual juxtaposition. The natural light that filters in from the window behind the girl adds depth and texture to the scene, highlighting the intricacies of the girl's clothing and the rough texture of the terrier's fur. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of children, even in the face of adversity. It also showcases Ethel Parkinson's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of a moment in time, making it a must-have for any collection of early 20th-century photography or art.
