EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare glimpse into the lives of Puritan girls in 1650, caught in the act of dancing. In a time when strict religious beliefs and moral codes governed every aspect of daily life, this image is a fascinating anomaly. The Puritans were known for their staunch adherence to Protestantism and rejection of frivolity, making it highly unusual to see young girls engaging in such a forbidden activity. The scene depicted here is both scandalous and intriguing, as these girls defy societal norms by partaking in what was considered sinful behavior. Their expressions are a mix of joy and trepidation, knowing they are engaging in an act that could lead to severe consequences. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the oppressive nature of Puritan society and the lengths individuals would go to seek moments of freedom and self-expression. It serves as a powerful reminder that even within the confines of strict religious doctrine, human nature will always find ways to rebel against authority. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this remarkable piece of history for us to ponder over centuries later, offering us a window into the complexities and contradictions inherent in our shared past.
