Such idyllic images of childhood, however, were not limited to portraits commissioned by the wealthy. Charming street urchins and the newly freed blacks were the subjects of other romanticized portraits, such as Seymour Guy's Little Sweeper (circa 1887) and Winslow Homer's A Sunflower for Teacher (1875).

After Rattigan left Oxford to write plays, his father supported him during a trial period. Just as it ended, his comedy French Without Tears became a hit and ran for 1,039 performances in London. Rattigan's forte was, as he once said, "the play that unashamedly says nothing-except possibly that human beings are strange creatures, and worth putting on the stage, where they can be laughed at or cried over, as our pleasure takes...
