EDITORS COMMENTS
Who Said Rabbits?", a charming photograph by Muriel Dawson captures the innocence and simplicity of childhood in the 1940s. The image features a young girl in a quintessential bonnet and overalls, leashing her terrier dog for a walk. The girl, with a mischievous expression on her face, gazes intently at her pet, as if asking, "Who said we're going to walk, not chase rabbits?" The terrier, alert and focused, seems to be in on the secret, its ears perked up and eyes fixed on some unseen target. The scene is set against the backdrop of August 1940, a time when the world was embroiled in the turmoil of war. Yet, in this photograph, the worries of the outside world seem to fade away, leaving only the pure joy and excitement of a child and her pet on an ordinary walk. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between children and their pets, and the simple pleasures of childhood. Muriel Dawson, a skilled photographer, expertly captures the essence of this moment in time, using natural light and composition to create a timeless image that continues to delight and inspire. The photograph is a treasure trove of history, offering a glimpse into the past and providing a connection to the experiences of generations gone by. The little girl in the photograph, with her carefree attitude and love for her pet, is a reminder that even in the midst of adversity, the simple joys of life can bring us great happiness. As we look at this image, we are transported back in time, and for a moment, we can almost hear the sound of a child's laughter and the barking of a faithful companion on a sunny afternoon in August 1940.
