EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful snapshot of childhood innocence and nostalgia, this charming photograph captures the essence of nursery rhymes through the eyes of six little girls dressed up in their finest fancy dress costumes. Dating back to approximately 1930, the girls are depicted as various beloved nursery rhyme characters, each one more enchanting than the next. From left to right, the first little girl embodies the enigmatic Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, with her red and white checked dress and a basket of flowers in hand. Next, Little Jack Horner, with his mischievous grin and a pie in his hands, is ready to pull a prank. The third girl, dressed as Little Bo-Peep, complete with a shepherd's crook and a lost lamb, exudes a sense of calm and nurturing. Little Boy Blue, with his blue outfit and a pipe in his mouth, looks pensive and thoughtful, while the fifth girl, Little Miss Muffett, sits demurely on a wall, watching over her wheel of cheese. Last but not least, the sixth girl, dressed as Polly Put the Kettle On, is ready to brew a pot of tea for her friends. This image not only showcases the girls' creativity and imagination but also transports us back in time, allowing us to relive the nostalgia of our own childhood memories and the timeless charm of nursery rhymes.
