EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print captures a moment of humor and satire from 1915, showcasing a unique historical perspective on population growth. The image depicts two individuals engaged in a phone call, with one asking if they are at the gooseberry bush and expressing their desire for more baby boys. This playful exchange highlights the community's focus on increasing the male population during that time period.
The use of satire in this photograph adds an element of whimsy to an otherwise serious topic, shedding light on societal attitudes towards gender roles and family dynamics in the early 20th century. The inclusion of phrases like "oo" and "we wants more Baby Boys" further emphasizes the lighthearted nature of the conversation.
Circa 1915, this piece offers a glimpse into history through a lens of humor and irony. It serves as a reminder of how cultural norms and values have evolved over time, while also providing insight into the ways in which communication technology has shaped human interactions.
Overall, Mary Evans Picture Library's print "Phoning for Boys" is not only visually captivating but also thought-provoking, inviting viewers to reflect on past perspectives on gender, population growth, and community dynamics.
