High Above on the Seesaw

About This Item

A Frederic Burk School boy perches at the top of the seesaw, gripping the handlebar as he looks down from his high seat. His striped shirt and rolled-up jeans catch the sun against the wide, open sky, making him appear suspended in midair. The moment brims with both playfulness and daring — a child testing balance, strength, and courage in the farmyard playground.
