Photography. A color photo of two children playing by an old-fashioned street lamp. In the background is a one-story brick house whose exterior wall was plastered square at some point. On the right is the window of a store. In the center of the picture is an old curved street lamp. A blonde girl in a red jacket is swinging around the lantern on a rope, while another brown-haired girl in a short skirt and a green wool vest, looks on. She has raised her arms to give her friend further momentum. The sun shines on the two as they play. This is a powerful reminder of what was. Info: Shirley Baker Hulme (1932-2014), was a British photographer, best known for her street photography and street portraits in working class.
