EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken by the London Stereoscopic Company circa 1860, we are transported to a time long gone. The image showcases a group of young boys in ragged clothing engrossed in a game of marbles within the confines of their backyard. Despite their impoverished surroundings, these resilient youngsters find solace and enjoyment in this simple yet thrilling pastime. The format landscape allows us to take in the entire scene, capturing every detail of their worn-out yard. The dilapidated state of the front or back yard is evident with its bad condition and poverty-stricken ambiance. Through an open window and doorway nearby, we catch glimpses into their humble dwelling. These boys kneel on the ground, fully absorbed in the sport they love - marbles. Their concentration is palpable as they strategize each move carefully. This leisure activity not only provides them with entertainment but also fosters camaraderie among them. This archival photograph sheds light on social issues prevalent during that era; it serves as a poignant reminder of how children from all walks of life found joy even amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over 150 years ago, it evokes both nostalgia for simpler times and admiration for the resilience displayed by these young souls.
