EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Boys Running: A Delightful Victorian Scene of Childhood Play This enchanting illustration, published in 1879, captures the essence of carefree childhood as two boys, Jimmy and Tommy, engage in a lively game of running with a hoop and stick. The older boy, Tommy, skillfully maneuvers the hoop with a long stick, while the younger boy, Jimmy, eagerly chases after it, his frilly collar flapping in the wind. The scene takes place by an open window, allowing a glimpse into the cozy interior of a Victorian home. The boys' playful antics are in stark contrast to the quiet domesticity within. The green grass and trees outside provide a picturesque backdrop, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. Both boys are dressed in typical Victorian attire, with collars and hats adorning their outfits. Jimmy clutches a book under his arm, suggesting that he may have been studying before joining his friend for a game. The straw hat on Tommy's head protects him from the sun as he focuses on guiding the hoop. The use of soft colors and intricate details in this illustration by Mary Evans Picture Library evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder. It is a reminder of simpler times when children could spend hours playing outside, creating memories that would last a lifetime. This charming image is a testament to the enduring appeal of childhood innocence and the joy of play.
