EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, captured around 1890, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of youthful rebellion. The engraving by Brend Amour titled "Delinquent Boys" portrays a group of mischievous boys indulging in forbidden activities within the sacred grounds of a churchyard. As our eyes wander through the image, we see these young troublemakers sitting on gravestones, their attention fixated on an intense card game. Their faces reveal both excitement and trepidation as they engage in this illicit pastime. A cloud of smoke from their pipes hangs above them, adding an air of defiance to the atmosphere. Amidst this unruly gathering stands a clergyman who has stumbled upon this unexpected sight. His presence is juxtaposed against the chaos unfolding before him - his stern expression hinting at disapproval yet tinged with concern for these wayward souls. This thought-provoking photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reflection on youth culture and religion during that era. It prompts us to ponder the clash between societal expectations and individual desires that often arise during adolescence. The format chosen for this portrait enhances its historical significance, evoking nostalgia for an era long gone. As we gaze upon it, we cannot help but be drawn into the intricate details that bring this scene to life – reminding us once again of how art can transcend time and transport us into different worlds.
