EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Envy' by Ethel Parkinson, captures a poignant moment of childhood innocence tinged with envy and curiosity. The image, dating back to the early 20th century, depicts a rather plump Dutch boy seated in a wooden chair, smoking a cigar and blowing out a contented puff of smoke. His cherubic face is etched with the satisfaction that comes with indulging in a forbidden pleasure. In stark contrast, a smaller, slender Dutch boy in traditional costume stands nearby, gazing at the older boy with a mixture of wonder and envy. Clad in a simple, striped shirt and donning clogs, the younger boy's expression speaks volumes about his longing to emulate the older boy's actions. The use of props such as the clogs and traditional Dutch attire adds to the historical and cultural authenticity of the photograph. The scene is further enhanced by the warm, natural light that filters through the window, casting a soft, golden glow over the boys and their surroundings. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing an intriguing insight into the lives of Dutch children during the early 20th century. The image also raises questions about the role of tobacco and the societal norms surrounding its use during that time. Ethel Parkinson, a skilled photographer, masterfully captures the essence of this moment, immortalizing it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document that offers a window into the past.
