EDITORS COMMENTS
Jumbles by Lewis Baumer: The Whimsical Pursuit of a Butterfly Collector (1897) This delightful photograph, titled "Jumbles by Lewis Baumer - Butterfly Collector," captures a moment of playful mischief from the late Victorian era. The image features a thin, elderly man, dressed in a suit and hat, in the midst of an animated chase. With a determined expression on his face and a large butterfly net in hand, he runs after a small, ethereal figure, who appears to be a fairy. The fairy, with her delicate wings spread wide, seems to be laughing as she eludes the pursuer, her tiny feet barely touching the ground. Lewis Baumer, the man in the photograph, was a well-known butterfly collector during the late 1800s. His passion for insects led him to travel extensively, amassing an impressive collection of specimens from around the world. However, this photograph suggests that Baumer's fascination extended beyond the scientific, into the realm of fantasy. The presence of a fairy in the scene adds a touch of whimsy and humor to the image, making it a unique and intriguing glimpse into the past. The photograph, taken in 1897, is a reminder of the enduring appeal of nature and the imagination, even in the most unexpected of places. Baumer's pursuit of the elusive fairy, with his net held high, is a testament to the human spirit's insatiable curiosity and the boundless possibilities of the natural world.
