Title:

See-saw. Photographer: Keighley, Alexander

Scope & Content:

Genre: Portrait Photography

Pictorialist study of five children, playing with a makeshift see-saw in a field. With descriptive letterpress: 'See-saw was suggested by a group of village children enjoying themselves in their own happy way, with all the fresh delight and earnestness of childhood, surrounded by the verdant foliage of summer, reminding one of the lines of Mrs. Hemans:-

Oh! green is the leaf where the children play,

Through the long bright hours of the summer away.'
