Asleep Balloon Balloons Bunch Burst Bursting Childhood Elderly Misbehaving Mischief Naughty Popping Seller Sleep Sleeping
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph, taken in the 1910s, captures a moment of innocence and mischief on a bustling city street. In the foreground, an elderly balloon seller sits on the pavement, his colorful bunch of balloons displayed prominently before him. His weathered face and kind eyes suggest a lifetime of experience in the trade. Two naughty boys, clad in turn-of-the-century attire, approach the scene with mischievous grins. One boy holds a stick, poised to burst the unsuspecting balloons, while the other reaches out to grab one. The seller, seemingly oblivious to the impending mayhem, peacefully dozes off, his head tilted back and mouth agape in the midst of the chaos. This delightful image offers a glimpse into the playful antics of childhood in a bygone era, and the enduring allure of a simple balloon.
