EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a truly unusual sight at the Adelphi Hotel in Glasgow, Scotland. Standing proudly in his page boy uniform is the smallest page boy ever seen, making this image a true oddity of its time. The postcard, dating back to the early 20th century, showcases the little boy's diminutive size against the grandeur of the hotel's architecture. It is evident that his employment was not only unique but also served as an attraction for visitors who would have been fascinated by such an extraordinary sight. The photographer, an English artist from the 20th century whose identity remains unknown, beautifully captured this moment in history. The image now resides within a private collection and has become part of our cultural heritage. Looking at this photograph today evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity about what life must have been like for this small child working amongst adults. It serves as a reminder of how perspectives on labor and childhood have evolved over time. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece of photography from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to a different era where even the smallest individuals could leave an indelible mark on society's collective memory.
