Snapshots of Joy - Thanksgiving Maskers Scramble for Pennies (circa 1910-1915)
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful photograph taken by George Grantham Bain, a group of children dressed in their finest Halloween costumes enthusiastically scramble to collect pennies on the sidewalk. The scene captures the carefree spirit of childhood during America's early 20th century.
The young trick-or-treaters, likely from middle-class families, proudly wear elaborate masks and attire that reflect popular culture at the time. Their faces aglow with excitement, they eagerly gather coins tossed out by passersby on this festive occasion. The image conveys a sense of community and social bonding as neighbors come together to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Bain News Service's photograph not only preserves a moment in American history but also offers insight into the daily lives and traditions of people during this era. This charming snapshot, now part of the Library of Congress' Heritage Images collection, serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when children could freely enjoy Halloween festivities without modern-day commercialization.
In this scene, we are transported to an earlier age where community spirit thrived alongside playful revelry. The photograph's timeless appeal lies in its ability to evoke feelings of warmth and nostalgia, inviting us to relive the joyous moments shared by these young maskers on a crisp autumn afternoon.
