Pug Peter: 'There She Goes!' - A Delightful Edwardian Scene of Animals Playing Cricket with an Orange (1905) This charming and whimsical photograph, titled 'Pug Peter: 'There She Goes!'' captures a delightful moment from an Edwardian era children's story, featuring a cast of anthropomorphic animals engaged in a lively game of cricket. The scene is set in a picturesque garden, with the sun casting dappled light through the trees. At the heart of the action is Pug Peter, a pug dog with a mischievous grin, who is poised to bowl the cricket ball towards his teammate, a bear wearing a striped shirt and holding a cricket bat. A rabbit, dressed in a blue jersey, is ready to take a swing, while a monkey in a red cap cheers them on from the sidelines. A penguin, dressed in a white shirt and blue trousers, keeps score, and a duck, wearing a red cap and wielding a bat, waits for his turn at the crease. The human figures in the scene, including a young girl named Edith and her brother, add to the sense of playful chaos and excitement. The children, dressed in Edwardian attire, are fully immersed in the game, with Edith holding a parasol to shield herself from the sun. The orange in the foreground adds a splash of color and intrigue to the scene, as if it holds a secret or is a crucial part of the game. The use of humanized animals and the inclusion of real children creates a magical, timeless world that invites the viewer to imagine the story unfolding beyond the frame. This photograph, taken in 1905, is a beautiful example of the rich literary and artistic traditions of the Edwardian era, and a reminder of the enduring appeal of animals playing sports in children's literature and imagination.
