Brother Dressed Frank Girlish Hull Humberside Nellie Note Photographed Sister Typical
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in Hull, Humberside, England, circa 1900, we find Nellie and Frank, two young siblings deeply engrossed in each other's company. The studio setting adds an air of formal elegance to the image, with the siblings posing confidently before the camera. However, the most striking aspect of this photograph is the little boy, Frank, who is dressed in a typical girlish costume. The frilly dress, adorned with lace and ribbons, is a stark contrast to the gender norms of the time. This cross-dressing trend was not uncommon during the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras, as boys were often dressed in dresses until they reached a certain age. Despite the unusual attire, Nellie and Frank's bond is evident in their body language and expressions. Nellie, with her demure smile, seems to be protective of her brother, while Frank, with a mischievous grin, appears to be enjoying the attention and freedom that comes with dressing up. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, shedding light on the social norms and customs of the time. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of sibling relationships and the joy of childhood innocence. This photograph, taken in a studio in Hull, Humberside, England, circa 1900, is a beautiful testament to the love and connection between Nellie and Frank, despite the societal expectations of their time.
