EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the Egremont Crab Fair and Sports in June 1973. The fair, established way back in 1267, holds the distinction of being one of the oldest fairs in existence today. At the heart of this image is a gurning competitor, his face contorted into an extraordinary expression that showcases both humor and tradition. His eyes sparkle with mischief as he pulls his lips apart to reveal a set of teeth that seem larger than life itself. This unique facial contortion is known as "gurning" a long-standing custom at the fair. The mature man stands alone, embodying years of experience and wisdom passed down through generations. He represents not only himself but also carries on the legacy of those who came before him. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be drawn into its timeless charm. It reminds us that traditions have power - they connect us to our past while celebrating our present. The Egremont Crab Fair and Sports may have evolved over centuries, yet it remains rooted in its customs and continues to bring joy to all who attend. This remarkable image captures a moment frozen in time - an ode to laughter, camaraderie, and the enduring spirit of community celebrations throughout history.
