EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image, titled 'The Queen of Make-Believe,' captures the magical world of childhood imagination as depicted in a 1925 photograph by renowned American artist Richard B. Ogle. The small girl, dressed in a long white dress reminiscent of a queen's regal attire, sits solemnly on a makeshift throne. Her serious expression and the regal posture she assumes convey a sense of authority and maturity beyond her years. Two toy soldiers, meticulously dressed in uniforms and standing guard either side of her, complete the scene. The toy soldiers, with their stern faces and fixed bayonets, add an element of protection and seriousness to the playful tableau. The use of natural light and the soft focus of the photograph further emphasizes the dreamlike quality of the scene, inviting the viewer to step into the world of this little girl's imagination. The photograph, taken in 1925, is a poignant reminder of the power of imagination and the ability of children to transform ordinary objects into extraordinary adventures. This timeless image continues to captivate and inspire, inviting us to revisit the magic of our own childhood memories.
