EDITORS COMMENTS
by Muriel Dawson: A Delightful Snapshot of Childhood Curiosity in the 1930s In this charming black-and-white photograph titled "Rat-Tat-Tat" by Muriel Dawson, we witness a precious moment of childhood innocence and wonder as a little girl, dressed in her best spring attire, opens the door to discover what lies beyond. The year is 1931, and the season is spring, as evidenced by the budding flowers and the sunlit scene. The little girl, with her rosy cheeks and bright eyes, wears a cute white sunhat adorned with a ribbon, and a matching bonnet, which adds a touch of elegance to her outfit. She stands at the threshold, her hand poised on the doorknob, ready to knock or to push the door open wide. Her expression is one of excitement and anticipation, as if she is about to embark on a new adventure. Muriel Dawson, a talented photographer of her time, captures the essence of childhood curiosity and the joy of discovery in this beautiful image. The title "Rat-Tat-Tat" may refer to the sound of the knocking or the rhythmic tap of the little girl's foot as she waits for an answer. This photograph is a delightful reminder of the simple pleasures of childhood and the magic of the world that awaits us when we open the door to new experiences. The photograph is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring beauty of childhood. It is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the art of photography, the history of the 1930s, or the innocence and charm of childhood memories.
