EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph from the 1920s, a young boy named Bobbie gazes longingly at his siblings' beautiful paint sets, with tears in his eyes. The caption reads, "Never mind Bobbie. Mummy will buy you a beautiful box of Reeves British-made water colours, like ours." The Reeves brand watercolors were a popular choice for families during this era, and Bobbie cannot wait to join his brothers and sisters in their artistic pursuits. Painting was a beloved pastime for children in the 1920s, providing hours of entertainment and creativity. The use of high-quality paints like Reeves British-made watercolors added to the enjoyment of the hobby, allowing children to create beautiful and vibrant works of art. The image captures the essence of childhood, with its simple pleasures and the anticipation of growing up. Bobbie's tearful expression conveys his disappointment at not yet being old enough for the "beautiful box of watercolors" that his mother has promised him. The siblings' paintboxes and brushes scattered around the table add to the scene, highlighting the importance of painting as a family activity. This photograph is a reminder of the joy and innocence of childhood, and the role that painting played in the amusements and hobbies of families during the 1920s. The Reeves brand watercolors were a symbol of quality and creativity, and Bobbie's longing gaze at his siblings' paint sets is a testament to their enduring appeal.
