Courting Frilly Harry Jock Lauder Milo Palm Potted Song Stop Tickling Venus
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming early 20th century photograph captures the essence of a courting couple, lost in their own world of love and affection. The man, dressed in a smart evening suit, playfully attempts to tickle his lady love, who wears an elegant frilly dress and a demure expression. The intimate scene is set against the backdrop of a small table adorned with a potted palm and a replica of the famous Venus de Milo statue. The statue, with its missing arms, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the image. The title of this photograph is a reference to the popular Scottish ballad "Stop Your Tickling, Jock!" made famous by the beloved entertainer Harry Lauder. The song, which was popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, speaks of a man trying to win the heart of his beloved by tickling her until she laughs. The connection between the song and the image adds an extra layer of meaning to the photograph, making it a delightful snapshot of a bygone era. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its portrayal of courting customs during the early 20th century. The formal attire, the use of a replica of the Venus de Milo statue, and the potted palm all serve as reminders of the romantic traditions of the time. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of love and the simple joys of courting.
