EDITORS COMMENTS
Ow much for the Moke (Donkey) Billie? I didn't know as yer Muvver could afford to keep two of yer!" This witty and jovial exchange between two young countryfolk, captured in a photograph dated 1899, offers a glimpse into the playful banter and camaraderie of rural life during that era. The scene unfolds in a narrow country lane, with Phil, a young boy, riding on the back of a donkey, or "moke," while his companion, likely named Billie, stands beside the animal, holding the reins. Billie's cheeky remark, delivered with a smirk and a raised eyebrow, pokes fun at Phil's apparent luxury of owning two donkeys. The insult, delivered with good-natured humor, is a testament to the resourcefulness and cheekiness of countryfolk, who found joy and amusement in the simple pleasures of rural living. The photograph, with its historical significance and charming depiction of rural wit, is a delightful reminder of a bygone era and the enduring spirit of country folk. The image is a treasure trove of history, showcasing the quips, jesting, and jovial nature of the past, and offers a glimpse into the lives of young countryfolk, their horses, and their sense of humor. The photograph is a reminder that even in the face of poverty and hardship, there was always room for a good laugh and a playful insult.
