EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Boys Own Shadow Show" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the enchanting world of childhood play. The image showcases a group of young boys engrossed in their own theatrical production, using nothing more than their imaginations and simple props. In this historical scene, we see the boys gathered around a makeshift stage adorned with plush animals and toys. One boy beats a drum while another holds up a walking stick as if it were an important prop for his character. Shadows dance on the wall behind them, creating an atmosphere of mystery and excitement. This charming Christmas-themed tableau captures the essence of youthful creativity and camaraderie. It reminds us that even in simpler times, children found joy in inventing their own entertainment. The Boys Own Annual from 1882 served as inspiration for this delightful shadow show. As we admire this chromolitho print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported to a bygone era where parlour games and imaginative play reigned supreme. It is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and make-believe that continues to captivate both young and old alike.
