1863 Babies Bubbles Helps Kingsley Lobster Trapped Wicker
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Water Baby / Tom / Lobster," is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the past, taken from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Prints Online. Dating back to 1863, this image showcases a heartwarming moment between a young boy named Tom and a lobster, who seems to have been unexpectedly rescued from a wicker lobster pot. The scene unfolds in or near a body of water, with Tom cradling the lobster gently in his hands, while the water laps at the shore behind them. The expression on Tom's face is one of curiosity and wonder, as he examines his new aquatic friend. The lobster, for its part, appears calm and content, almost as if it trusts Tom completely. The historical context of this image is fascinating. In the mid-19th century, lobsters were considered a luxury food item, and fishing for them was a significant industry. It's unlikely that a young boy like Tom would have had the means to own a lobster pot of his own. Instead, it's possible that he stumbled upon this lobster while exploring the shoreline, or perhaps it was given to him as a gift or a treat. The image also features several intriguing props that add to its charm. A stack of books lies nearby, suggesting that Tom is an avid reader. A bubble maker is visible in the foreground, hinting at a playful and imaginative nature. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, invites us to reflect on the simple joys of childhood and the wonders of the natural world. It's a reminder that even in the most unexpected moments, we can find connection and wonder, whether with a lobster or a good book.
