CHILDREN AND NANNIES, 1881 - A Glimpse into Daily Life in the American South
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from 1881 offers a fascinating snapshot of life in a bustling city square in the American South. The scene depicts children and their nannies engaging in a delightful activity - feeding squirrels amidst the charm of a public park. In this enchanting image, young boys and girls are seen seated on a bench, eagerly offering treats to adorable squirrels scampering around them. Their nannies, dressed elegantly with kerchiefs and bonnets, watch over them attentively. The presence of both Caucasian and African American women as caretakers highlights the diverse fabric of society during that era. The late 19th-century setting is further brought to life by details such as an intricately designed footpath leading through lush greenery and towering trees. A perambulator (baby carriage) can be spotted nearby along with other elements like dolls and hoops that were likely part of children's playtime back then. This wood engraving not only captures an endearing moment between children, nannies, and nature but also provides us with valuable insights into daily life at that time. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when parks served as communal spaces for relaxation and connection amidst the hustle-bustle of urban living. Granger Art on Demand has once again preserved history through this evocative print – allowing us to cherish these timeless moments forevermore.
