EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and intriguing photograph, titled "Dame Made a Curtsey - Dame Ready to Curtsey and Dog to Bow in Kitchen. Part of Box 52 Boswell collection. Nursery Rhymes. Date: circa 1890s," transports us back in time to the late 19th century. The image captures a whimsical scene of a dame, dressed in traditional Victorian attire, preparing to make a curtsey before a dog that is eagerly bowing in response. The setting is a cozy kitchen, illuminated by the warm glow of a lantern, adding to the nostalgic and homely atmosphere. The title of the photograph suggests that this scene may be inspired by a nursery rhyme or a popular children's story of the time. The use of the term "dame" further reinforces this notion, as it was a common term used to refer to a woman, particularly in the context of traditional English folktales and nursery rhymes. The inclusion of the dog in the scene adds an element of playfulness and humor to the image. Dogs were often featured in nursery rhymes and children's stories, and their presence here adds to the sense of fun and merriment. The photograph is part of the Boswell collection, which was likely a collection of lantern slides used for educational or entertainment purposes during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Lantern slides were projected using a magic lantern, a precursor to the modern projector, and were used to create visual presentations for various occasions. This photograph is a delightful reminder of the rich cultural heritage of nursery rhymes and the role they played in shaping the imaginations of generations of children. It also offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the daily life and traditions of the Victorian era.
