Drie kinderen op een stoep voor een huis before 1895

"Drie kinderen op een stoep voor een huis" (Three Children on a Stoop in Front of a House), a photograph by Emma Justine Farnsworth, captures a simple moment of childhood play. Taken sometime before 1895, the image features three children, two boys and a girl, standing on a stoop. The children are dressed in simple, everyday clothing, and their expressions convey a sense of youthful innocence. The photograph’s intimate scale, with its height of 166 mm and width of 118 mm, allows the viewer to connect with the children on a personal level. Farnsworth’s work, often focusing on children and their interactions, offers a glimpse into the everyday life of children at the turn of the century.
