EDITORS COMMENTS
Oranges and Lemons: A Timeless Game from the Past, Captured in a 1895 Photograph Step back in time with this charming image of children playing the classic game 'Oranges and Lemons' in the late 19th century. Dressed in their Sunday best, a group of boys and girls, with rosy cheeks and bright eyes, gather around an archway, forming a line as they eagerly anticipate their turn to play. The archway, adorned with colorful oranges and lemons, serves as the centerpiece of the game, symbolizing the journey from Barneybright, a place shrouded in mystery and intrigue. The children sing in unison, "How many miles to Barneybright? Three score there are, and more. Shall we get there by candlelight? Oh! yes, and long before. With a bow and curtsey to you and to you, if you please will you let the Kings horses go through?" This rhyme, passed down through generations, adds an element of excitement and adventure to the simple game. The photograph, taken in 1895, captures the essence of childhood innocence and the joy of playing a game with friends. The oranges and lemons, arranged meticulously on the archway, add a pop of color and a sense of playfulness to the scene. The image is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that have been passed down through generations, and the simple pleasures of childhood that remain timeless. As we look at this photograph, we can't help but be transported back in time, imagining ourselves as part of this lively scene, singing and playing the game of Oranges and Lemons with our friends. This image is a treasure trove of history, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the joy and wonder of childhood.
