1883 Misbehaviour Scrumping Spot Sizing
Two Victorian Boys Sizing Up a Spot of Scrumping,
EDITORS COMMENTS
1883 This evocative photograph captures the mischievous spirit of childhood in Victorian England. Taken in 1883, the image depicts two young boys, dressed in typical Victorian attire, engaged in the time-honored tradition of scrumping. Scrumping, the act of secretly harvesting fruit from an orchard without permission, was a common form of misbehavior among children during this era. The boys in the photograph are intently focused on their target, their expressions a mix of determination and excitement. One boy, with a straw hat perched atop his head, gestures towards a tree laden with ripe apples. His companion, wearing a cap and a striped shirt, looks on approvingly. The boys' clothing and demeanor suggest that they come from modest backgrounds, and the thrill of the forbidden fruit adds an element of adventure to their day. The historical context of this photograph is significant. The Victorian era was a time of strict social norms and moral codes, and children were expected to adhere to a certain level of behavior. Scrumping, while not considered a serious offense, was a way for children to assert their independence and challenge the rigid rules of society. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of play and mischief in childhood, even during periods of strict social control. The photograph, "Two Victorian Boys Sizing Up a Spot of Scrumping," offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the experiences of children from a bygone era. It is a reminder that, despite the passage of time and changing social norms, the spirit of childhood remains constant.
