EDITORS COMMENTS
Phyllis from Bishop Auckland in the Unusual Guise of Little Bo Peep (1913) This photograph captures Phyllis, a local resident of Bishop Auckland, England, donning an extraordinary and fantastical costume inspired by the beloved nursery rhyme character, Little Bo Peep. The image, taken in 1913, showcases Phyllis sitting on a bench with an enigmatic expression, her eyes fixed on an unseen horizon. Despite the title of the photograph, there are no sheep visible in the shot, leaving one to ponder if Phyllis has lost her beloved flock. Her attire is meticulously detailed, consisting of a long, flowing, white dress adorned with delicate floral patterns, a crooked crook slung over her shoulder, and a quaint, white bonnet perched atop her head. The overall effect is both whimsical and intriguing, transporting the viewer to a bygone era of fantasy and make-believe. The 1910s were a time of great change and creativity, and this photograph is a testament to the imaginative spirit of the era. Phyllis's unusual costume and the mysterious setting of the photograph invite the viewer to engage in a delightful game of speculation, adding to the allure and charm of this image.
