EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming vintage print titled "Skipping - le saut a la corde" a group of little girls can be seen comparing their skipping rope skills. Taken from the book "Afternoon Tea: Rhymes for children" published by Frederick Warne & Co in London around 1880, this illustration captures the innocence and joy of childhood play. The original artwork by John George Sowerby and Henry Hetherington Emmerson beautifully depicts the scene, showcasing the girls' enthusiasm as they engage in friendly competition. Their animated expressions and lively movements convey their excitement and determination to outdo one another. This image transports us back to a simpler time when skipping ropes were an essential part of every child's playtime. It reminds us of carefree afternoons spent outdoors, where laughter filled the air and friendships were formed through shared experiences. The composition is vibrant, with delicate details that bring life to each character. The soft colors used evoke a sense of nostalgia, adding to the timeless appeal of this piece. Preserved in a private collection, this photograph taken by Jean Duvallon allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of these illustrations. It serves as a delightful reminder that some things never go out of style – like friendship, playful competition, and the simple pleasure found in jumping rope on a sunny day.
