EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1850s, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of pure childhood joy and exuberance. The image captures a group of young boys engaging in an age-old game known as "The Bumps". With their mischievous smiles and sparkling eyes, these boys have found endless entertainment using nothing more than a simple sheet. As the sheet billows through the air, one brave fellow is tossed high into the sky while his companions eagerly await his descent. Their hands reach out with anticipation, ready to catch him before he falls back down to earth. This timeless scene showcases not only their physical agility but also their unbreakable bond as they work together seamlessly. The landscape format of this print perfectly frames the action unfolding before our eyes. The monochromatic color scheme adds depth and texture to each detail captured by Rischgitz's lens. It is as if time has stood still within this single frame, allowing us to marvel at these carefree moments frozen forever. This enchanting piece transports us back to a simpler era when children found delight in the simplest pleasures life had to offer. It serves as a reminder that amidst all our modern distractions, sometimes all it takes is a sheet and some friends for true happiness to be found.
