Photo Archives -- Little Girls That Could Be Me

I am not just posting these girls because they lived in the 19th century. I am fascinated by these photos, because I see myself, or at least a part of me, in each of these photos. I am waiting for my friends to write & agree.

Now this one I don't quite understand. A little girl with a whip & her chicken with a nest with eggs. I am hoping the chicken & eggs are some elaborate toy contraption. But the s & m whip has me baffled, and if it's a riding crop, does she ride the chicken?
