EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CHILDREN: TYPES. The Brat" takes us back to the streets of late 19th century America, capturing a moment in time when children's play was both simple and imaginative. The wood engraving, created in 1876 by David Hunter Strother (known as Porte Crayon), showcases a mischievous young boy engaged in various activities. In this lively scene, we see the brat playing games with his friends on the side walk. His hat slightly askew, he exudes an air of youthful energy and curiosity. With a pocket full of marbles and a toy gun slung over his shoulder, he embodies the spirit of adventure that defined childhood during that era. The image also hints at the working-class background from which these children likely came. Their worn-out clothes and bare feet suggest limited means but boundless imagination. Despite their circumstances, they find joy in simple pleasures like headstands or shooting marbles. Strother's wood engraving beautifully captures not only the innocence but also the resilience of these street urchins who navigate life with resourcefulness and creativity. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst hardship, children possess an innate ability to find happiness through play. This print is part of The Granger Collection's extensive archive featuring historical images that transport us to different eras while celebrating humanity's indomitable spirit.
