EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken in the late 19th century, depicts a heartwarming scene from Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel, "Little Women." In this moment, Professor Bhaer, played by the esteemed American actor Frank Thayer Merrill, entertains Tina and Kitty, two of the beloved March sisters, during Laurie's visit to New York. The Professor, a kind and wise man from Berlin, leads the children in an enjoyable game, using a simple rope or string as a makeshift riding apparatus. His playful and engaging demeanor brings delight to the girls' faces, showcasing the joy and innocence of childhood. The photograph, taken in the 1880s, offers a glimpse into the social world of the 19th century, where literature and fiction played a significant role in shaping the cultural landscape. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Alcott's story and the timeless themes of family, love, and friendship. The Professor's entertaining presence serves as a reminder that even the simplest of activities can bring great joy and create cherished memories. Frank Thayer Merrill's portrayal of Professor Bhaer in this photograph adds depth and authenticity to the characters in "Little Women," allowing readers and viewers to connect with the story on a deeper level. The image is a beautiful representation of the bond between the Professor and the March sisters, and serves as a reminder of the importance of nurturing and cherishing the relationships in our lives.
