EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, titled "Playing at Doctors" we are transported back in time to the Victorian era. The image captures a tender moment between two children as they engage in an imaginative game of playing doctor. The artist, Frederick Daniel Hardy, known for his ability to depict sentimental scenes with remarkable detail, has beautifully captured the innocence and curiosity of childhood. The setting is an interior space adorned with traditional Victorian furniture and decor. One child assumes the role of the doctor while the other eagerly awaits their examination. Their expressions reveal a mix of excitement and anticipation as they immerse themselves in this make-believe world. This print from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when children found joy in simple games that sparked their imagination. It reminds us of the importance of playtime in nurturing creativity and social skills. As we admire this artwork, we can't help but reflect on our own childhood memories and perhaps even feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. "Playing at Doctors" serves as a timeless reminder that despite advancements in technology, there will always be value in encouraging children to explore their imaginations through play.
