EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Carrying On: A Moment in Japanese Life from the Late 19th Century" This evocative lantern slide captures a poignant moment in Japanese life from the late 19th century. The image features a woman dressed in traditional Japanese attire, effortlessly carrying her baby on her back as she walks alongside four children. The children, all dressed in simple clothing, gaze curiously at the camera, their expressions filled with a mix of wonder and apprehension. The woman's expression is serene, her eyes focused on the path ahead. The baby, securely fastened to her back with a cloth, coos contentedly, unaware of the world around him. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and the simple joys of family life in Japan during this period. The lantern slide, part of the Boswell Collection, Box 158, slide no. 7, dates back to the 1890s. The use of lantern slides for presentations was popular during this time, and this image would have provided an intriguing glimpse into the lives of people in Japan for audiences in other parts of the world. The image offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of Japanese families during the late 19th century, a time of significant cultural and social change in Japan. The scene is a reminder of the universal themes of family, love, and the passage of time that transcend borders and cultures. The lantern slide is a valuable historical document, offering a unique perspective on a time and place that is often shrouded in mystery and intrigue. It invites us to reflect on the rich history and traditions of Japan and the connections that bind us all, despite the vast differences in our experiences and backgrounds.
