Ricordo di averlo visto ovunque nelle case degli anziani nel Donegal.
Mostrava una bambina che piangeva, di fronte a un muro, con un cane in piedi dietro di lei. Sembra che sia di Charles Burton Barber, ma mi interessa di più il motivo per cui era ovunque. Gli altri ricordano questo appeso nelle case delle persone? Perché era così diffuso?

There used to be a picture of a Girl Crying at my Uncle’s House…Really freaked me out as a Kid.
Not this but I remember the pair of pictures, a crying girl in one, a crying girl in the other.
Crying boy picture and crying girl picture together was meant to be cursed or some crazy shit. I mind when I was young my dad burning them in the back garden when he heard this.
Freemasons. Gnosis symbols all over it.
We had this picture in our sitting room. I have no idea why.
Edit: Charles Burton Barber was a favourite painter of queen Victoria, and in the 1980s there was a big revival of Victorian art (also clothes etc, hence the popularity of Laura Ashley and chintz)
This picture was the best selling print in 1983.
Someone else was wondering about that yoke.

I think it’s just a relatable image that also looks sort of posh. Middle aged women like that sort of thing.
