EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print captured by John Topham in 1938, we are transported back to a simpler time between the wars. The image features Paul Wilson, a young boy full of joy and mischief, alongside his beloved dog Mickey. Paul's infectious happiness is evident as he confidently glides on his roller skates, effortlessly navigating the streets with an air of freedom. His carefree spirit is mirrored by Mickey, who seems to be keeping up with Paul's speed while playfully chasing after him. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing the nostalgia that comes with looking back at this snapshot from the 1930s. It serves as a reminder of an era when children found entertainment in simple pleasures like skating outdoors rather than being consumed by technology. As we observe this heartwarming scene unfold before us, it's hard not to smile at the humor embedded within it. We notice that Paul holds a box of animal crackers in one hand – perhaps using them as motivation for Mickey or simply enjoying them himself during their adventures together. Overall, Topham's photograph captures both innocence and liveliness through its subjects' expressions and actions. It reminds us of the enduring bond between humans and animals and evokes feelings of warmth and nostalgia for times gone by.
