EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Child Plays in Water" dated 1948, captures a moment of pure joy and innocence as an adolescent girl happily engages in a classic summer pastime at the beach. The image, taken during the post-war era in the United States, depicts the girl in a simple yet stylish swimsuit, kneeling at the water's edge with a tin pail in hand. She appears to be shoveling sand or perhaps filling the pail with water, while a younger child, with a blonde bob and a red swimsuit, plays nearby. The mother, dressed in a modest bathing suit and keeping a watchful eye, sits on a towel with a book in hand. The scene exudes a sense of nostalgia and idyllic American lifestyle, reminiscent of the 1904-1968 era. The photograph, taken by renowned illustrator Douglass Crockwell, is a beautiful illustration of childhood activities and playtime that continues to resonate with audiences today.
