This photograph belongs to a series of casual shots depicting children. With the improvements made to roll-film during the first half of the 20th century, more user-friendly cameras were produced. Photography became less technical and non-restrictive. The photographer was free to choose any viewpoint, angle and subject matter. Children, as depicted here, were seldom photographed in the past.
