EDITORS COMMENTS
Tug of War" is a charming photograph by Muriel Dawson capturing the playful spirit of childhood at the beach in the 1940s. The image features a little boy in a striped bathing suit, his face filled with determination as he pulls on the rope attached to a sturdy-looking dog. The sandy beach and clear blue sea create a picturesque backdrop, with a sailboat in the distance adding to the idyllic scene. The boy's companion, a playful pup, is also dressed for the occasion, wearing a red and white checkered collar and lead. The two are locked in a friendly game of tug of war, their focus completely on each other as they engage in this simple yet fun activity. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the joy and innocence of childhood, transporting us back to a simpler time. Muriel Dawson, a talented photographer, expertly captures the moment, her skillful use of light and shadow adding depth and texture to the image. The photograph is a delightful reminder of the bond between children and their pets, and the endless hours of fun that can be had at the beach during the summer months. This photograph, taken in August 1943, is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring joys of childhood and the special moments shared with our beloved pets.
