EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of the Little Folk Misfitz: Wee Willie Winkie, a charming and whimsical scene from the early 1910s. This photograph captures a group of children dressed as the iconic character Wee Willie Winkie from the popular nursery rhyme. The children, dressed in white nightgowns, slippers, and carrying lanterns, embody the playful spirit of the beloved character. Ethel Parkinson, a talented photographer of her time, skillfully captured this delightful moment in her studio. The Little Folk Misfitz was a popular children's game or set of cards during the 1910s, inspired by the rhyme "Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town, Up the bike and down the drain, Drinking all the way, Oh, what a shame!" The game involved children acting out the character's movements and actions, adding to the imaginative play and fun. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the simple joys and innocence of childhood during the 1910s. The children's expressions of excitement and wonderment are infectious, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The use of natural light and the children's costumes add to the timeless quality of this photograph, making it a treasure for anyone with an appreciation for history, childhood, and the power of imagination.
