“I’m just going to pretend she’s not here.” 1/6th plate tintype. Private Collection.
In fact, posing like this I’m sure these two had the best of relationships. They weren’t going to pose like all the others; too boring! I think this is a small horse whip she’s teasingly tickling him with from behind the tree, or is it an arrow? But what is he reading, a love letter? For his own sake it better be hers!
How would you caption this one?

It’s probably her dress bill, poor chap but the little whip might make it worth it 😉

Lol! Someone on Facebook told me it was a ‘nosy neighbor’ victorian comedic theme. Makes sense!
What happens next with that whip? See Summertime75’s blog. Hahaha!

This is adorable! I love old images that show humor, because they’re not very easily found. I love the playfulness of this picture. Thanks for sharing! :)
