EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph from circa 1880, a young girl stands before a pen of geese, her expression one of wonder and admiration. Dressed in a white blouse and dark skirt, her hands are tucked into the pockets of her apron as she gazes at the birds before her. The goose pen, filled with the large, plump birds, is surrounded by a rustic fence and set against a backdrop of autumnal foliage. The season of harvest and the anticipation of the upcoming holiday season are palpable in this image. The goose, a traditional Christmas dinner staple in many European and American households during the late 19th century, is the focus of the girl's attention. The thought of the savory roast goose, with its crispy skin and succulent meat, likely fills her with excitement and anticipation. The photograph captures a moment of pure, unadulterated joy and innocence. The girl's connection to the natural world and the upcoming holiday traditions are beautifully encapsulated in this image. The simple pleasures of rural life, such as tending to farm animals and preparing for the festive season, are celebrated in this heartwarming photograph.
