EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Pet Squirrel in a German Household" (C1860), offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique bond between humans and animals during the late 19th century. The image, taken circa 1860, depicts a young German girl holding a squirrel in her hands, both of them beaming with joy and affection. The squirrel, perched on her palm, seems to be enjoying the companionship, its bushy tail curled around her fingers. The photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the long-standing tradition of keeping squirrels as pets, which dates back to ancient times. In Europe, squirrels were often kept as exotic pets, especially in the upper classes, due to their agility, cuteness, and playful nature. This practice was particularly popular in Germany, where squirrels were often kept in cages or allowed to roam freely in gardens and homes. The photograph also provides a fascinating insight into the daily life of a German household during the late 1800s. The girl's simple yet elegant attire, the cozy interior of the house, and the presence of various household items in the background, such as a wooden chair, a table, and a vase, all contribute to the authenticity of the scene. Overall, this photograph is a treasure trove of historical information, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring bond between humans and animals. The image is not only a beautiful representation of the past but also a reminder of the joy and companionship that pets bring into our lives.
