Cutting a Sunbeam, 1886

A picture taken by Adam Diston in 1886. He was a painter who became a photographer. He took regular portraits at his shop but also did posed composition shots like this and won a lot of awards.

On the picture you can see a girl trying to cut a sunbeam. Surrounded by decay and refuse, this young girl, smiling, can imagine what it would be like to cut into the sun. We all need to tune into that small sense of wonder we had as children every now and again.

  1. A great picture. But can someone explain why the young Victorian girl is shielding her eyes when the beam is behind her?
