Oranges and Lemons,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a beloved nursery rhyme from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, comes to life in this vintage photograph from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available at Mary Evans Prints Online. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the simple pleasures and innocence of childhood during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The photograph features a beautifully arranged display of oranges and lemons on a wooden table, bathed in the warm, golden light of a lantern. The citrus fruits, their vibrant colors contrasting against the muted tones of the table and the dark background, appear ripe and inviting, as if beckoning to be picked up and savored. Surrounding the fruit display are a group of children, their curious faces peering in, their expressions filled with wonder and delight. Their clothing, reminiscent of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, adds to the nostalgic feel of the scene. The children's attire, with its high collars, long sleeves, and intricate details, speaks to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and simple joys like the sight of oranges and lemons were cause for excitement and enjoyment. The lantern, casting its gentle glow over the scene, serves as a reminder of the importance of light in our lives, both literally and metaphorically. It represents the illumination of knowledge, the warmth of companionship, and the joy of discovery. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the "Oranges and Lemons" nursery rhyme and the memories it evokes. It invites us to reflect on the past, to appreciate the beauty of simple things, and to cherish the moments of innocence and joy that we experienced as children.
