EDITORS COMMENTS
A New Year's Morning Awakening, 1906 Photography by Charles Robinson, this image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, where we find a young girl, bathed in the soft glow of a candlelight, as she begins to stir on New Year's Morning. The year is 1906, and the scene unfolds in a cozy, Victorian-era bedroom. The little girl, dressed in a white nightgown, lies in her bed, her eyes still closed, as she listens to the gentle sounds of the new day beginning. The candle on the bedside table, its flame flickering, casts long, dancing shadows on the walls, creating an ethereal atmosphere. In her hand, she holds a snuffer, a traditional tool used to extinguish candles, symbolizing the end of the old year and the beginning of the new. The New Year was celebrated with much anticipation and excitement in the 19th century, and children were often included in the customs and traditions. In many households, it was believed that the first person to see or speak to on New Year's Day would influence the fortune and blessings for the coming year. Therefore, parents would wake their children early to ensure they were the first to greet the new day. This beautiful photograph, with its timeless charm and nostalgic appeal, offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the simple joys and traditions that have stood the test of time. The little girl's peaceful expression and the warm, inviting light of the candle create a sense of tranquility and hope, as we welcome the promise of a new year filled with possibilities.
