Breeches Child Clothes Costume Jacket Epaulettes Naval Tailcoat
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Little Admiral - August 1944" takes us back in time to witness a young boy's playful imagination. Dressed up as the legendary Nelson, he stands proudly on a stool, exuding an air of authority beyond his tender age. The George Garland Collection has preserved this precious moment, allowing us to glimpse into the innocence and creativity of childhood. The attention to detail in the child's costume is remarkable. Clad in breeches and an exquisite naval jacket reminiscent of the 18th century, he wears a tailcoat that adds sophistication beyond his years. A hat adorned with epaulettes rests atop his head, completing the ensemble fit for an admiral. As we admire this photograph from West Sussex Record Office Ref. No. N23488, we are reminded of how children can transport themselves into different worlds through their vivid imaginations. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the power of make-believe. Let us cherish this snapshot devoid of any commercial use intentions; instead, let it serve as a reminder that within every child lies boundless potential waiting to be explored through play and dress-up adventures like our little Nelson here.
