Tommy's Penny - A Glimpse into Childhood Delights
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Tommy's Penny" takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the early 20th century. The vibrant color lithograph showcases an enchanting scene from the children's book Bubbles, edited by Dr Barnardo in approximately 1904. In this delightful illustration, we witness Tommy, a young boy with his cherished pocket money (or bun), eagerly exploring the wonders of a local bakery. As he contemplates the value of his penny amidst rows of delectable buns and sweets, we are reminded of simpler times when even small treats brought immense joy. The image encapsulates not only the innocence and excitement associated with childhood but also hints at broader themes such as inflation and the changing value of money over time. It serves as a gentle reminder that even something as seemingly insignificant as a penny held great significance for youngsters like Tommy. Beyond its monetary connotations, this artwork evokes memories of traditional games and toys enjoyed during parlour gatherings. Plush animals and ball games come alive through vivid details within the illustration, transporting viewers to an era where imagination reigned supreme. As we admire this charming piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us embrace its whimsical charm while reflecting on our own childhood joys and treasured moments spent indulging in simple pleasures.
