Does it Suit Me: A Playful Moment of Whimsy in 1912, as Captured by Ethel Parkinson In this delightful photograph by Ethel Parkinson, dating back to 1912, we find a scene of young girls engaging in a lighthearted game of 'does this suit me?' with an unlikely companion - their pet puppy. The girls, dressed in their Sunday best, sit cozily by the fireside, their faces filled with excitement and amusement as they try on various hats on their beloved pet. The puppy, with its expressive eyes and floppy ears, seems to be enjoying the attention, almost as if it understands the playful intent behind the girls' actions. The warm glow of the fireplace casts a soft, inviting light over the scene, creating an intimate and nostalgic atmosphere. The girls' elegant attire, combined with the casual and playful interaction with their pet, highlights the contrast between the formal and the informal, the serious and the whimsical. The photograph is a charming reminder of a simpler time, when the joys of childhood could be found in the most unexpected places. Ethel Parkinson, a talented artist and photographer, expertly captures the essence of this moment, immortalizing it for future generations to enjoy. The photograph is a testament to the enduring bond between children and their pets, as well as the timeless appeal of playful, carefree moments spent with loved ones.
