The title points to "The Barefoot Boy," the rural New England poem by John Greenleaf Whittier, first published in 1855, which praises a country boyhood of bare feet, creek wading, and summer freedom. Prints built around that poem were popular in the later 19th century, when sentimental images of rural childhood sold well in homes and magazines. The record does not say who made this print or when it was issued, so its exact date and maker are unknown. Viewers can still see in it the nostalgic idea of childhood that made the poem so widely loved.
