Description:

This scene of rough-housing and exuberant young boys by the water’s edge might feel familiar. Where there are opportunities to play, boys will find games to push the boundaries, whether it’s today or in this featured photo taken in 1944. The rich colors, overlapping lines, and pressed leaf create a feeling of rambunctiousness and movement. You can almost hear the voice of an adult chiding the boys, “No shoving!”
