Robinson. The image, which has been passed down through the generations, shows the youngster in a church setting, intently focusing on a bald man's head, where a fly has landed. With a quick and considerate response, W.H. Robinson uses a catapult to gently flick the fly away, ensuring the man's peace during the religious service. The historical context of this photograph is intriguing, as it highlights the innocence and kindness of a young boy, who, despite being in a church setting, is not deterred from showing compassion towards another person. The use of a catapult, an unconventional tool for such a task, adds a touch of humour and lightness to the scene. W.H. Robinson's thoughtful act is a reminder of the importance of consideration and kindness, even in the most unexpected moments. This photograph, with its rich history and timeless message, continues to inspire and delight viewers, making it a cherished piece of history. The image, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple joys and moments of humanity that transcend time. This photograph is not only a testament to the young boy's thoughtfulness but also a reminder of the importance of empathy and compassion in our daily lives.
