EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Couples Engage in a Playful Piggy-Back Race in the Suburban Back Garden (circa 1910s) This delightful photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and lightheartedness between two couples as they participate in a piggy-back race in the comfort of their suburban back garden. The image, dating back to the 1910s, showcases the couples' casual attire, with the women wearing long, flowing skirts and the men in collared shirts and trousers. The sisters, who appear to be of similar age, are seen exchanging places, with one man carrying his partner, while the other man supports his wife or sister as she hops onto his back. The backdrop of the scene is a lush, green lawn dotted with vibrant flowers and a quaint greenhouse, adding to the idyllic setting. The piggy-back race, though playful, may have been considered risqué in the early 1900s, as it allowed for close physical contact between the couples. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple joys and moments of connection that transcend time. The photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is an excellent addition to any collection focusing on historical moments, family history, or social history. It provides a unique perspective into the lives of people during the 1910s and serves as a reminder that playful activities and shared experiences have the power to bring people closer together.
