EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken during the late Victorian era in the 19th century, depicts a young girl gazing longingly at the colorful assortment of sweets displayed in a quaint sweet shop window. The soft glow of the lantern outside the shop casts a warm and inviting light, illuminating the enticing treats within. The girl's expression is one of pure delight and wonder, her eyes wide with excitement as she contemplates which sweet to choose. The Victorian period, known for its elegance and refinement, is brought to life in this charming photograph. The girl's Victorian-era dress, with its high collar and long sleeves, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The street outside is bustling with activity, as boys and girls of all ages play and frolic, adding to the sense of childhood joy. The Edwardian era, which followed the Victorian period, is also represented in this image, as a few boys in short trousers and flat caps can be seen in the background. The sweet shop itself, with its ornate sign and intricate window design, is a testament to the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the time. This vintage photograph, from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to a simpler time, a time when the simple pleasure of choosing a sweet from a shop window could bring so much joy to a child's day.
