A Moment Back In Time To Prospect Park in the 1890's
Taken in the 1890's, this wonderful photograph shows children in their summer finery in Prospect Park. It looks as though they are waiting for something or someone, but for whom or for what has long been forgotten.
Don't you love it?

Very cool. The height of the victorian era. We have come a long way as far as children't clothes! Kids today can barely tie their laces since the invention of velcro! (i work in a public elementary school and can back up this statement!)
This is beautiful -- almost painterly in its composition.
They may be dressed in their summer finery, but they still look like they're up to something.
I agree Laura. It looks like they stopped in the nick of time when Mr. Camera showed up. (Check the boy in the grass farthest right). Priceless photos Katia - just like you are for this wonderful website.
Thanks, Anon. That is very sweet of you.
Glad everyone likes the photo as much as I do.
I couldn't agree more with Laura myself.
When I saw the picture, I thought that some things never change. The girls are standing nice and properly in their white dresses, while the boys are rolling in the grass, looking like they are planning some mischief.
