[edit] Title and Arbus quote

The Time Life book, The Camera, (1970, 1976 reprint), labels the photograph, "Exasperated Boy with Toy Hand Grenade". It quoted Arbus as saying, "At the time I was thinking of doing a story on rich children. I was a rich child myself, more or less. I was just walking in the park and saw this boy, wearing clothes from one of those archaic stores for the rich, with his governess behind him. He tried playing with some tough kids in the park, whom he clearly felt had something he didn't. He was irritated here because I was taking his picture." (p. 222) This statement clearly offers a more sinister back story than the contact sheet does. Verne Equinox (talk) 01:27, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
