EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the late 19th century, this evocative photograph presents a young girl bravely navigating a windy day. Dressed in a natural, layered outfit typical of the era, she wears a long, flowing skirt and a blouse with a high collar. But it is her shoes, or rather the pattens over them, that draw the most attention. Pattens were a common accessory in the Victorian era, particularly during inclement weather. These wooden or metal devices were worn over shoes to protect the feet from mud, rain, and snow, as well as from the damaging effects of constant contact with the ground. In this case, they seem to be the girl's only defense against the gusty winds that whip her skirt and ruffle her hair. Despite the challenging conditions, the girl's expression remains determined and resilient. Her posture is upright, her gaze steady, and her grip on her parasol firm. The photograph, taken circa 1890 by an unknown photographer and sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the simple yet enduring spirit of childhood and the natural phenomena that have shaped our history. The wind, a powerful and ever-present force, is a recurring theme in this image. It is both a challenge and an opportunity for the young girl, who learns to adapt and carry on, much like we do in our own lives. This historical photograph not only transports us back in time but also invites us to reflect on the strength and resilience that lies within each of us.
