A Glimpse into the Past - A Living Parcel in Germany, 1902
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to Germany in the early 20th century. The image showcases a little girl standing on a railway platform, her innocent face peering curiously at the camera. What makes this scene particularly intriguing is the address label securely fastened around her neck, resembling a living parcel. The young girl's attire reflects the fashion of that era - she wears a coat with vibrant colors and an elegant dress underneath. Surrounding her are men and women dressed similarly, waiting for their train amidst billowing steam from a locomotive nearby. The photograph captures not only the physical location but also conveys a sense of wonder and anticipation associated with travel and transportation during that time. It serves as a reminder of how railways were once vital lifelines connecting people across vast distances. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, one cannot help but ponder about the circumstances behind this peculiar sight. Was she traveling alone or accompanied by someone? What was her destination? These unanswered questions add another layer of mystery to an already fascinating snapshot from German history. Preserved through art media, this print allows us to appreciate both its aesthetic value and its significance as an artifact from days gone by. Let it transport you back to 1902 when rail travel was at its peak and curiosity filled every corner of our world.
